Started this build few weeks ago.
It'll be something like this..

Will try scratch build the details of this kits, e.g. internal frame, engine n full detail weapon pod.
Saw off tht barrel, inserted alluminium rod which i take fr tv antenna.

SB the thruster, left is original thruster.

NO WAY...!!!
thruster was scratchbuilt...!!! the original one now looks like he's no position to compare with yours... looks like it can be open and close...

Kuman, Druid, Koo, Kenny: Thanks for the compliment, i actually refer to real jet engine n star wars kits to build this thruster. Glad it turn out well.
Silantra: Its about 30cm long with the beam cannon attached. Most of my Gundam not OOB :P .
I was intended to build the beam cannon first, but after placing the alluminium rod, i lost of idea. So, now building the thruster n engine first. :lol:
Currently working on its engine part. Hope it turn out well too. ^_^
Been poisoned by virus SB. :P :P :P

After abandon it for months, some VERY MINOR progress.
Dun know what this call, found it in tools box.

1/5 of the engine scratch builded. It will be fit at the side booster, see the hole at my dendro (above), this will cover there.

Pardon my pic quality, taken with HP, my digicam out of battery <_< .
