It certainly is, I am going to have to hang ot from the ceiling in my model room. It takes up 3 quarters of my work bench too, so I can't tinker with anything else whilst it is on it.

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

Thankyou Phil, I need to get some more motivation to finish it, as it isn't far off now. I also need to put some hangers up on the ceiling for it too.

Just what I thought too Trevor, but the other way round.  ;D
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! :)

Regards
Kit

That could get expensive, so I thought ahead, and put batton around thentop of the walls, and put screw in loops into them. Fingers crossed that will suffice, as I have a 72nd scale TU 160 to go up there too.

Ya could get away with 2x3s up if it's like it is here..2x4s are cheaper  :thumbsup:  :wacko:
Lucky you don't have that 72nd An124 ..you'd need steel  ;D
