Congrats on your first flight Ramstein. I won't be getting mine done before the weather goes bad here, so I'll be taking my time and be ready for next spring.

Here's my latest scale mods. I made some exhaust blast guards out of thin plastic (picked up at the hobby shop). Paint match was done with some stuff I had laying around. I will coat everything with Polyurethane once I am done detailing. They turned out pretty nice even though the exhaust sticks out more than it should to be scale.

I also started on my gear doors. I found that the plastic pieces provided in the kit for strut covers fit over my Sierra gear and make for a nice way to mount the plastic doors. I plan to add a rubber band to the lower part of the door so it will hold it into the wing when the gear is retracted.
