Wow that is amazing. There is lots, and lots, and lots of hours spent on that one. Gota love the lighted cockpit. It's the first I have seen with the cameras on the side. Yea Chris but he forgot the bottle of JD for Stringfellow as he was an alco!

Crazy details that I can't believe one has the time to do but certainly looks awesome. Unless I missed it, I just wonder where he gotten that carbon fiber fuse and it's a "1:7th" scale no less! He mentioned Germany but I never caught what company that he got it from.

One of the things I was thinking of doing on mine is making the doors functional but that means cutting it out and somehow adding hinges and a latch. My concerns would be that the doors are on the part of the fuse that detaches from the doghouse to the nose and its right on the border line edge of the bottom half which I am worried about compromising the structural part of it. Any thoughts???

Ok they are there if you need them. I had another look at the picture I can't see an issue from stress by cutting in a door. That part is not stressed it is only a battery cover . One thing you have to keep in mind is when you cut the door you will have a gap all the way around. The door will not seat flush as it was not ment to open. Not unless you do a bit of work on the inside by adding a seem all the way around the inside door. Then there is inner door panels to do etc.
