I have over a week cut dozen of sheet parts, drilled 120 holes ( and cleaned and sanded everyone of it )  ,  this is the +30 year old russian kit of the 1914-18 Sikorsky 4 mot bomber .   It will went into a progressive steam punk Style ...   Turbojets  with double props in push direction . 

This thing is huge !!

Looking much forward to this. Pusher turboprops? Side exhausts, I presume?

Maybe ducted through and out the spinner?

On second thought that may heat the prop hub up to destruction levels, but this is wiffworld...

Cool idea! 

The lengths some people will go to to avoid rigging a biplane...    

Looks good.

The correct rig is like sailing ship , that is too much for me ..  and i think the look of drilled lightweight  metall will fit right  .

Side exhausts on the engines would be nice , and there are 4 giant oil coolers in the original kit ! 

I forget as it's YEARS since I had that kit in The Loft, but does it come with the passengers strolling along the OUTSIDE of the rear fuselage?

looking very very good

That was the civil version.  The outside of the fuselage was referred to as the "Promenade Deck"

No , i think that was for watching military Training .

Wings and tail is fixed , with modern ropes for the rig .
