Great work Brian, the model that is not the airbrush disaster. Hope you get it sorted.

Thanks Steve looks like I need a new nozzle I damaged it removing from the AB

[Bri62]

Managed to sort the nozzle (maybe) anyway its working to a fashon right now but there is a lip on the pointy end causing it to leak a bit.

Brian, that looks the nuts especially all lit up. The only thing I noticed and its nothing you have done but there is no continuation of the propshaft through the clear section.
