Lovely Dave   ;D  great work in a tight space  :thumbsup:
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 .

That's looking the business already!
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! :)

I'd see it as a carrier for racing cars, maybe in Lotus colours.
Owing to the current financial difficulties, the light at the end of the tunnel will be turned off until further notice.

DONE! I believe that most of this kit was glued together about 25 years ago, then sat unfinished, with no landng gear, windscreen, or decals. Hauled it on to the bench a couple of weeks back, intending on just finishing it as a Real World model. Yeah, right.

HACKSAW, STAT!  ;D  For some reason this idea just came to me, and it called out to be done. Bits were procured from the spares box for hinges and top support bar, metal wire salvaged from a surgical mask nose bridge was cut into 'L' shapes for the actual hinges, scrap plastic for floors, old landing gear door for the stowage area door. Very rough around the nose area where decals fell apart, might touch it up one day.
