Great model!

One small nit-pick, though. 

Just to make it a little more interesting, I would suggest moving the rotor so it's not parallel to the tail. Or, you could replace it with a plastic disk streaked with sharpie marker to make it look like it's moving.

As for a backdrop, knock yourself out. Just get a piece of thin wood and paint a gray sky with streaks for rain.

thanksBig Smile [:D]  actually i have the bird wired you can see the wires barely coming out of the tail so the rotors actually work it's not strong enough to produce lift but looks pretty cool i think

thank you i used a 5/16 metal bar that i bent to the right position(major pain in the Censored [censored])and stuffed it in a hole on the port side,that also acts as a porthole for the wires to run thru you can see it just in front on the star and bars insignia on the tail,that just rest against my framework for the glass,i found a stormy sea pic that i'm going to try and fit today hopefully i can post to see what yall think of it
