thanks tom.
I should have thought about automotive .one of the things you learn with scale or any model building is that theres always a easy solution somewhere and not every part you need has to come from a hobby shop.although I did see that J'tec has instrument panel sheets and available from tower at a inexpensive price so I will fashion a instrment panel this winter ..I added some gussets to the airframe last night and it really strenghtened the stringers without adding any weight. what kind of muffler did you use o the powerplant.I was thinking I could use tubing of some sort to keep it more realistic.
