Tail booms and fins
Here is the Tail booms and fins. I have added extra detail to what I could.
Starting off with the fins. As you can see I raised and scored the flaps on the fins.
Fin finished.
I raised the light.
Here is a close-up shot of the light.
Here is the tail boom.

Ahem, I fear that you have attached the engines too low and the fins do the splits. Was that intented?
Thank you both for the kind words. I GREATLY APPRECIATE IT!!!
I will be glad once there is an interior to put into it (but I know that it will be quite awhile before that will come around).

Actually, no, it just kind of happened that way.wall1
To be honest, there are a few other mistakes as well.wall1 I was going to redo it all, but I did not have the time for such.wall1
Low? Where?

I must say, from where my ignorance allows me to see, nothing wrong. Anyway, I do not have the skills to see it yet...
I wish I could build models like that, but I'm working had for it. I'll get there.
Congrats on the build!:thumb::thumb:

I have another idea. You still have some space left on the back of the model. What about adding a third engine above the other two, mimicking a Viper engine configuration?
To tell you the honest truth, that would not be a bad idea.
I will work on it and I could easily rig up mounts for it.
Fast Rescue Raptor MK-II will be the designation.
Hey RB, that looks really great. I like the idea of the third engine too. Who knows maybe that would extend the jump distances too. I really like all the little details you added, makes everything just pop.
Thank you for the compliment.
I will be adding the third engine in a day or so.
Please stay tuned to your local CBC (Colonial Broadcast Channel) for further updates and they come.
*gggggg*!!! I'm abslutely thrilled by that idea. Okay, if it doesn't work, you can say it was my fault. If it DOES work, well, you can say the same! ;-)
Adding the third engine
Well after quite a bit of rattling my brain (or at least what is left of it), I have finally come up with a way of making project of adding a third engine and having it look like it was meant to be that way.
I started off with making the third engine. Now, as you can see, I have aligned the engine mount with the hole in the engine. That way everything will line up properly.
Engines underwent some detailing work.
I printed out another part #43. This will be inverted on top of the same piece, with the actual engine mount attached to it.
Here is the engine mount.
