Thanks guys much appreciated Got the wing finished and the panels framed up....going to have IED bounty hunter cast me a set. I had some gap issues with the Saturn V parts but some quarter round strip took care of that.

Using a stencil to get a inner circle so I could design the frame work. The design changed after I dremeled it out i didnt like it. Top and bottom hatch are the same cut out design Top... I will paint the back sides of the clear parts and glue them in at some time.
