Flyboy,
That is really cool! Looks good close up in the picture.
Can you make any more of those with the rest of the plane?

Maybe extend it at each end ~6". Then build an interior and place a couple more guys and 'voila!' instant mini-diorama. The "clouds" allow you to depict just the one section rather than having to fake an entire Ju52.

Definitely something I think you could pull off, judging from your other recent work.
