[glow=red,2,300]MAKIN' ROOM FOR THE BiG ONES!!![/glow] I'm cutting away more body and undrbody to make room foor the Engines. I cut about 3/16th of an inch off the both edges of the Underbody including the 2 Fins...  I cut out 2 New Larger Under Fins from sheet plastic...  Here are the New Under Fins glued in place!  Next I cut out more of the underbody to make room for the Engines.  I cut a little too much from the body so I put in a 1/4 inch patch.  That should be enough room...  |

[glow=red,2,300]NEED MORE INTAKE!!![/glow] I decided to extend the Intakes so that the front 1/2 inch of the Engines fits inside the Intakes. So I cut some more of the Intakes off the old Jet Model.  Next I cut the New Intakes down to fit the Pegasus.  Here it is glued in place.  I glued a piece of sheet plastic to the underside of the Intake to finish it off!  |

[glow=red,2,300]SHAPING THE INTAKES!!![/glow] I have marked the bottoms of the Intakes for Cutting. I will cut along these lines with a razor saw.  After cutting I glued these two pieces of plastic over the cut areas.  Then I carved the plastic down to the shape of the Intake using a Dremel Tool and sanded it smooth & even with a Fileboard.  Next I cut the bottom of the Intakes and did the same thing to the bottoms. Then I did the same thing again to the sides...  Here are the Intakes with all four sides done!  |

[glow=red,2,300]BARS UP FRONT!!![/glow] I found this part in the parts box. I think it is part of a tail light assembly...  I cut the two ends off and glued them in place as shown!  Here are the Intakes after a little sanding...  |
