Sidewinder Gallery
Grille Off
The original ports which have been blanked off are visible in this shot
Original build
The original build, before it became the Sidewinder. Good WAF rating, but a bit boring...
Port upgrade
The new ports let into side wall, straight through the veneer
Port close-up
Close-up of port. In hindsight, some flares would have been good...
Wraparound - LHS
Wrap around ports are visible in this shot. 90 degree elbows were used for the bends
Wraparound-RHS
Rear view showing port-wall junction. Elbows are not glued, so port segments can be removed for access to the amplifier
Monolith view
A futile attempt to make it look bigger than it is. I've been told this is a bloke thing.....
Quarter view
Another look at port mounting. The rear of the port slides through rings cut from the ends of joiners
