When I tore the build down to the hull to cast it, I replaced the nacelles. I made a master nacelle of brass and aluminum tubing and epoxy putty. The finished master was molded and castings made in alumlite. Those are currently on the model. The pylons are also basswood.
Painting is a chore.
I can make a nice model, then ruin it with paint. So I beg forgiveness for the paint job. The model is painted to represent the USS Questing CB5. Treknical Info M anta Class ships are pure battle cruisers. They have two primary functions.
