one of the last pieces that I have to install is the cockpit. I finally found a good way to fit it. Below some pictures of it. I think its looking verry good.

To seal of the section between cockpit and fuselage I added a extra strip.
Picture without strip.

Everything is colored and the template contains 25 pages.
But when I was going through all the parts and greebies I found just one missing part.

And yes this part is an eye catcher so it has to be on the model.
Well lets see what I can make of it.

Everything's great there! I meant you need to build a real (functioning) ION engine and you'll be good to go!
Ya know, NASA put a working ION engine in space. First flew on Deep Space 1, and after 678 days of thrust, DS1 became the fastest spacecraft made by man, NASA's Dawn mission uses 3 of those ION thrusters, and will be the first spacecraft to orbit 2 different solar bodies.

Adjust the size, cut the segments shorter and it will fit. ;)

:hammerhead: And here some last pieces that I forgot to build. I need to make a fews adjustments but then we have a nice pair off laser guns on the cockpit hull.

And these guns will be attached on the rong between fuselage and cockpit. So some litle work in the new year.
