Several pictures of stages of the kit-bashing process (scale: 1/29)
Starting with Aristo-Crafts's FA/FB-set by cutting and joining the shells and building the rough shape of the unique nose-area with thin plywood:
After application of exhaust, louvers, grills and hatches and much sanding:
Application of battens & rivets; fabrication of pilot:
And from the paint-shop (lettering still missing)
