Yeah that was my first thought when I started the build.

I'm pulling all the "in progress" builds out to see where I am so that I can get some of these done and out of the way. This one has a lot of sanding on the nose and all along the sides to be done.

Thanks Stuart! Trying to decide whether to actually add the top engines or leave them off.

That is a sharp (pun intended) build. Go for the top mount engines!

Thanks! Decided to leave the top engines off. It look more "Stealth" that way.

Yeah, that's the way I would have gone - it looks great!
