Of course you do know I was only kidding! This is beyond upgrading and modifying... it's fantastic.

I too am saving this to disc just hoping some of it will rub off onto my kit.


Thanks for sharing!

Ah - awesome . beautiful .
I'm waiting to see the results of your detail work in representing the casting marks inside the two ? somekinda exhaust or intake vents .. sorry , Obviously I don't know what they are ....
.. the two , almost pully looking elements (starboard side / center ) --- I see you have placed some sort of PE within to replicate the production marks ? ? .
Fantastic !
Cheers ,
Keith
