This is Jim Bowen’s Serenity, heavily modded.

The first pic is of his original, which can be found archived here:

I’ve always liked this simple, little model that Jim designed and have built it several times.

The first version I built was stolen from a display in the local Hobby Lobby store.

Each time I take it a bit further; here’s the latest version. Enjoy, -J

You did a great job on this model! Thank you for sharing the link for the template with us!
I can see that there is quite a bit of greebling potential.

Beta building further mods

Adding side cargo, underwing supports (2nd attempt),
engine outboard plating and ventral strakes.
Conical engine, repainted.
Repainted wing.
Redesigned intake nozzle and engine actuator arm.
Mounted the intake nozzle upside down, doh!
Rough build, no edge treatment or coloring.

Most are keepers. Others, meh. -J
