Yes, at least I hope so. I will have a look at the conversion of the engine mounts today. Built four 15mm engines last night, so all I need is figure out how to mount them best on the small model.

And also, as far as i know there is not enough reference material to do the cockpit. Or is there something?

**Papierschnitzel** · #74 12-09-2016, 12:05 PM

I couldn't take the Revell kit apart again but I found a pic what the cockpit looks like ... that's the best info I have. The trailers leave you guessing more than anything else.

Oh and today I wanted to tackle the engine mounts for the 15mm version. LOL, I rebuilt a new small version and got everything BUT the mounts done

Doesn't she look cute next to big mama bear?

Woke up at 3am and could get back to sleep last night (or is it morning?) so I thought I'll just continue and, hey, I got half the engine mounts done!

I tried with just the scaled down version of the large ones and it works. Some glue tabs are small (1mm) but it all goes together nicely.

Now I need to make the other side and then I can start with the landing gear...

15mm figures version completed engines. I wasn't sure if just scaling the engine mounts would work but it did! Very happy with the result

Now I can focus on the landing gear...

I am glad that the engine mounts work well.
The models look FANTASTIC!!!

Thanks :-) I was also glad that I didn't have to make something different for the smaller scale model.

Today I need to figure out the landing gear. When going through the trailer I found that the hind legs actually are located at the end (slanted wall) of the transporter cabin. Will have to do some modifications for that. But it makes more sense as I couldn't find a good spot to put the hind legs next to the cabin. They were always in front of the door!

It appears that you'll have this completed in time for the opening of the new Star Wars movie. Looking very good Chris!
