Agree with Freak on this - the new engines look much better, certainly a little more future tech. And the nimrod is an awesome plane, or so my father informed me many, many times when I was younger.

^ They are, I have had the pleasuer of being on one during a mid-air refuel. That is very intrtesting thing to wintness form with in the plane.

hehe - I bet it is! My dad used to work on them a lot (among other things). Anyway, we digress, back to the model, can't wait to see more

Haven't had much time lately to work on this. I have made a few little additions. Namely the Chaff and Flare dispensers, the IR Warning Dome (there is one on the belly as well) and the decoy launch bay.

nice but I think they need to be a bit smaller.

efritsch: liking it a lot but I have to agree that the chaff and flare dispensers arn't air worthy. You might find something similar on a ship but not on an aircraft. I have a few pics of different aircraft mounted chaff and flare dispensers below:

Been doing some more work on the AWACs.

Redid the flare launchers too but haven't rendered that yet.

Had you kept the podded engines, it would have looked like the EC-33 from Macross.

That is where I got some of the inspiration for it.
