Bit of a gap in the middle as we went on holiday!

Living in Bristol, one of my model themes are 'planes with a Bristol engine. The most-common Master Mk II had a Bristol Mercury XX single-row radial engine (the Mk I had a V12 Rolls Royce Kestrel; the Mk III a twin-row radial Pratt & Whitney Twin Wasp Junior). The only model I could find, though, was this Eastern Express (Frog) Mk III. So I've done my best to modify it to a Mk II - fitted a spare Airfix Mercury engine from the spares box (bit of butcher job) and remodelling the nose a tad. Not perfect, but it'll keep me happy.
The exhaust pipes have got me a bit stumped though.
(It's just a quick stop-gap project!)
