Looking good. Like the observation mod but for me I like the tinted better on mine.

I was watching the 1st episode on YouTube and you can literally see straight through the ship window to window. Not sure I will bother with the inside of the windows since my PC is down. Mine are not crystal clear but good enough. A very low dim micro led would be cool, but not good at knowing how to do that.

I'm am very worried about the legs. I saw a video from Model Space and it sounded like the gears were missing or skipping. Just like the poor Takara version. :(

Nice to see you did the observation window mod.
Strange they were black/blue in the first place.

Roy.
Hi Roy, would it be possible to buy some of your printed window details? I only ask because my PC is down.

Opened up the engine intake grills. Primed and test fitted.

Thanks. No I wasn't thinking to as there really shouldn't be a light or flame in a engine intake. I just wanted to open it to show depth.

The legs on my TB2 work fine.I did have an issue with a slightly bent axle on the motor, but once that was fixed they work fine

I thought about drilling the grilles but decided against it as the gear mechanism will be seen through the gap. Nice work.

It will have a back. I'm just giving it more depth.
