Motors ?
Lights ?
Smoke Effects ?
Sound Effects ?

Action ! 😄

And just to add to your already extensive work load you could fit some tiny motors in the wheels so you could make it taxi too !! 😄

It's not as if we aint all thinking it 😄

I actually saw the Belle when I was little. It is, coincidentally, in Memphis. Unlike the real plane, with this project I will be able to see more than the exterior!

Nice videos, I instantly thought about the little smoke generators from Marklin trains for the start up, and waited for those guys in front to run hell away from there, hehe. Thanks for sharing 😄 . A 1:32, must be a BBBBiiiigggg model, Daniel 👍

Smoke generators and sound affects would be real cool, but you have to know when to draw the line. I am hoping to be done by the end of the summer.
Cheers Mates.

The 17's are such great fun to build.
The Aires "Cyclone" is a nice kit motor too, but the Eduard one looks great.
And you will have a lot more internal grinding too with the BigEd PE, believe me.
have fun. 🙂 👍.
