But it offers a view up to the first compressor stage, and not just a "flat dent" like the kit part!

Nice work! I really like the wood-grain wings of the missiles and the clean checker-board nose.

I thank you for your praise!
The really good kit makes the path to the beautiful result much easier.
It's a shame that the manufacturer didn't add a few more kits...
