Not interested in profile artworks.
Too many inaccuracies and contradictions between artworks.
And you can't reference Museum displays, they are often historically inaccurate.
You've hit upon the biggest problem with creating alternate parts for Ken West's model.
The various Tail markings and Nose configurations also relate to many other exterior differences.
Various other markings are different, colours of varied panels, different visible engine components, etc
Too many things to change on the model to make accurate alternate vehicles.
I think the only acceptable thing is creating complete kits of alternate vehicles.
Maybe 66670 at a different time, in a different configuration.
or 66671...
or 66672...
And that might be something that only Ken West can do.

Ken told me way back when that he was contemplating offering different tail markings for 66671, and he was going to do a 66670, but had a couple of other projects he wanted to get out of the way. That was August 2010. I've sent him a couple of emails in the past few months to touch base with him and see if he ever planned to revisit the idea of doing 66670, but he's not replied. Seems to have dropped off the face of the card-modeling world, which is a shame for us because he came up with som darn-good models.
