today I achieved a little bit progress, so finishing line is in sight. I polished the Body again (except the nose cone) and i really like the light reflecting. Furthermore I added the exhausts and detailed the side pods a little bit. Im not 100% satisfied but its ok. It was a mess to install the rear body parts to the under tray, but it was a fault of myself due to changing the sequence of building.
but enough words here are the pictures:

thanks for watching
:shock: :shock: :shock:

That is the best heat stained set of exhaust manifolds I've ever seen! I think someone already asked, but how did you achieve that effect?

The intake trumpet purple effect is really cool too! Very impressive! 8)

Thank you very much guys. regarding the exhausts, I used round about 30 very thin layers of different alclad colors (transparent blue, red, yellow, burnt violett, polished brass, polished aluminium and some smoke). I began with clear coating the black primer to apply the polished aluminium. Then I started with blue and red on the curves of the exhausts, adding some brass and repeat the procedure till I was satisfied.

best regards.
