Vspec - yanno, I'm the same way about the F-111. Love the thing to bits. I was fortunate enough to find a plug to use as a base. It wasn't exactly what I'd expected, and if I had my time over again, I'd probably build from scratch from the ground up.

But meh - I've come this far, so I may as well finish what I've got, then 'refine' it from there.

I guess what I'm trying to say in a round about way is "Nike - just do it".

There's so many people out there that would gladly pay a reasonable price for a basic glass 'kit' of the shell - why don't *you* be the one that makes them?

I'm doing the best I can with the skills I've got - and so long as what I can cast from the moulds is a reasonable quality, I'm sure there'd be a few people out there that would help me recoup some of my costs by purchasing a 'kit' from me.

And if not, at least I can say "I built that". Myself.

Why not give it a go?
