Do you think you had done too much work for it to be allowed to be entered?

No, i Don't think so. All major parts were apart from each other. Around july 1st I had three fuselages (2 with 1 wing, the center had non). I was about to cut the front of the middle one to extend this with the Hs132 fuselage. But that was done mid july. The rest were smaller bits like canopy and tail planes.

Then, in my book it qualifies for the GB.  We are often our own harshest judges so if you're happy, its in.

Would you like Chris to move this thread into the GB slot?

Let me know if you would like it moved 

Thanks Fred for your judgement. Than i'd like to enter it into the GB.

I simply didn't realize it could be eligible. Still think I do her in Late WW2 German camouflage with three tones of grey.

I think an argument could be made for almost anything to be a tribute to Tophe and Robert.  They had a very wide range of interests.

Just make sure, if it's for Tophe, that it has no weapons.

Moved as per discussions between builder and Moderator 

This is excellent...it's perfect for here and oh she looks good

Time for an update. Majority of PSR is done. Tailplane is made from 2 mm styrenesheet and put in place.

The tape is there to pinch the tailplane between the fuselages while curing.

Meanwhile the question arises : "is it a tailsitter or will it have a nose gear". I'm not sure yet. It looks good with a nose gear but I need to test the center of gravity and find a way into this.

I saw that and instantly thought 'Hughes XF-11'!

That would look amazing with a nose gear Dave...by the look of this beauty she'll sit very nicely 😍 😀

Wow, very sleek, made for speed.
