 The Battlestar Galactica Moebius SHOULD have given us.

Heading back towards the engines, there are more parts on the studio model that aren't included in this kit.  

Such as this:

Eagle-1:
 
Doing some research, I found that those pieces are from a TAMIYA 1/12th Ferrari kit.

Like this:

Using the information I found, I set about scratch building some appropriate parts, in scale with this Moebius kit.

They turned out to be TINY!  Now, I have them shown on an American dime (10 cent piece) and just for reference for anyone who might not realize what size a "dime" is, it's 17.70 MM.  Also, there are a couple engine bells from the good old AIRFIX 1/144 Saturn V model rocket kit.  I decided to scratch a few of those to replace the ones on the Moebius kit that have a little better detail.

I think they turned out alright?

Eagle-1:
 
Here's what they ended up looking like on the kit.  I can live with that!

Eagle-1:
 
Ok, for anyone interested in what I'm doing, I'll continue...

At this point, once I started to have to scratch build things and they were seemingly adding better detail, I decided to take it a little farther.

As anyone with this kit knows, although a good kit, it lacks detail seen on the original filming model.  Adding some of the details I've done made me want to improve the engine section too.  There is a great deal of detail on the Galactica filming model that really stand out and I wanted some of that on this Moebius, which meant I would have to modify numerous individual items.

Here again, is the stock kit engine section:
