Great job! Big fan of the half-removed nacelle approach. Looks like they're doing maintenance actions on the motor.

Beautiful paintwork and weathering. The engine on show is a really nice touch too, especially in this scale. :clap: :clap: :clap:
Its been tried and tested, it works! So don't blame the system if you're no good. :doh:
