For this change of position of the model, I am going to use something incredibly unusual for me: undercarriage! One piece of it will be enough

Looks like you stuck the head of a fish on to the tail of a DC 10in a couple of those photos Tophe   

And here is the result with wheels perfect to make it in the right direction.
What? The Wheels are not under the wing? Yes, there are just somewhere on the bottom side (my McDo-10+ is not a flying machine but a decoration object for shelves or desk.)

Then, following the "4th prototype" decision, I started to glue one "wing engine" on the tail, and I like the result:

Later, when it seemed solid enough, I glued the last engine, and I don't regret to have chosen this incredible (very whif) layout rather than single engine. This evening, if solid enough, I may start to paint the underside:

Painted! Finishing very soon!:

And the McDonald's MD-10+ is now finished! Don't you recognize the huge DC-10 it was in a previous life? Actually, this single-seater is much smaller, like a new born baby plane:

From 4 angles, now the DC-10 family belonging is clear, no?:

On this profile view, the DC-10 lineage appears at its best. For the wheels, it is also clear this is not at all a retractable undercarriage to run on a runway but fixed wheels to have the model in the right direction despite weight balance.

Yes, the same occurred with the McDo-10+, but instead of a 7% increase of passengers with the MD-11, this happened to be a +100% increase with the MD-20+ (perfect for twin-brother pilots).

Love it

Thanks a lot for this approval of my crazy dream, turned plastic more or less

Looks great to me!

Thanks to you!

I have shown the 4 classical angles to see my model, a little from above, but... no more room in my shelves. So the model is standing in the few centimeters in front of books, on a high shelf, seen partly from under
