More fundamental than that I'm afraid. :(
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Oh. My. GOD! Did you install the rudder pedal tensioners with metric nuts instead of a Whitworth thread?! Quick, put a pilot in the cockpit, maybe his boots will hide it.

You didn't scribe the panel lines for the compartment the crew would use to stow away their overseas deployment expenses cash?

You got it spot on!

And it's impossible to correct now that they're a) superglued in place and b) due to the design of the parts. Once they're in place they're there for good.  :banghead:

So the wheels are inboard of the legs rather than outboard, and the outer doors won't fit, so I'm scratching some styrene ones that will. Luckily the wing mounted tank and that BIG bomb make good visual barriers to oberving my stupidity.

I have just looked at my Skybirds 86 Scimitar kit and I see what you mean. Oh well, Kit's Rule #2 comes into play I suppose.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Well, try as I might, I'm not going to get the FB2 done in time for tonight's deadline.  :banghead:  :banghead:  :banghead:

I spent much of y'day drawing up the decal sheet for it, and test fitting some paper samples to ensure they fit the FB2's curvy fuselage, but could I find the decal paper to print them off? Could I thump!!!!!!

I've searched and searched all over this chaotic house and I can't find the paper anywhere, darn it.
