Here's the lowdown;

I still haven't figured out how to re-create the rear nozzles yet, but somebody recommended the ramjet tips and cones from Semroc's SST Shuttle kit. I just picked up one of those the other day, so when I break it open to build, I'll see how the nozzles work on the Skytracer.

that Skytracer clone looks good EV :-)
might have to try that one - I was worried about the pods myself, then looking at the plans at jim Z's right now and realized those are BT5 based, not the oddball sizes like on my F61 I had.
as for the nozzles - let me know on the SST shuttle ones ( does Carl offer those seperately ? )
I believe Moldin Oldies has the SST nozzle set as well, so will try there, too .
thanks for the encouragement :-)
