F1 tunnel build 2011

[F1 madness]

Hi guys.
been awhile since i last built anything,i returned to the drawing board and designed this 1.
I thought it was about time to reveal my latest creation,been working on it for awhile and now at the point where i feel lets show it off and get some feedback on it.
Based on a more modern design including some of the features to improve the performance of the hull
still not completely finished yet and still got away to go before shes wet.
anyway pic time
