I must have too much time on my hands as I dragged out the old airbrush and had a go at the exhausts. Not perfect, but do look a bit like the discoloured titanium or stainless pipes used in real life. I'm simulating the military version of the Airtractor 802 as used by a few dodgy operators in countries like Jordan. In Jordan they have scrubbed out the registration details on some of the aircraft, maybe because they are involved in suspect operations, (see image).
I just put it on the scales complete, and was shattered to find it had crept up to 4.2kg. I knew I'd gone a bit over 3.5, but wow the small bits and pieces add up. At 4.2 it has a cubic wing loading of 8, so should still fly OK.
