Engines will be removable and will have the fins attached, the idea is that the lower fin will slot into the main hull and the inside will slot into the horizontal fin between the tail. This will enable me to transport without risk of damage.

Right! Apart from some minor adjustments left to do on the top of the back end I think its there, As you can see I have sharpened up the lines on the side pods and the nose end of Diver has been adjusted and I'm happy with the result.

Coming from Brussels, Belgium originally, I loved the Gerry Anderson series very much. Your build is simply fantastic (saw one of your Skydiver in the water) Looking forward to see the next installment!

Took the nose off and adjusted it, then put it back on, Now I'm thinking that the gun pods need to be a tad slimmer before going back on.
