That looks totally AWESOME!   

Specially the underside view with all those Olympuses (Olympii....?), It'd be in a similar category to TomZ's Dornier VTOL freighter in the noise stakes! 

Wow ! This is incredible ! Imagine the sound ? 

I was all "yeah, that's pretty good I suppose" and then I saw all those exhausts...

Quote from: Vostoc7 on March 04, 2023, 04:10:59 AMps I usually never have undercarriage down so I have lots spare if anyone ever needs some?

Speaking of undercarriage: I'm just trying to imagine what this things' would look like.


As for the noise: I'm figuring about the same as a flight of Vulcans taking off simultaneously during a "War Emergency Simulation", a sound I would expect to be quite awe inspiring.

Stunning 

Maybe the rear crew can get upgraded to upward firing ejection seats finally!

Love it.   

Awesome build. 
Just a thought: if it's being displayed in-flight, do the bomb's fins need to be folded? Or did they only unfold when dropped?

(make sure you use a heavy enough twine to hang that puppy up with, though)

This is epic ...the first thing I thought was the same as the other lads..the sound..the Vulcan howl ..which sounds amazing is now gonna be a roar ..that's a sound I'd love to hear

I wasn't sure about the bomb fins especially as on the box art of the new edition of the Vulcan the fin is down in flight

I have some heaveyweight fishing line ready so hopefully it won't fall on my head, many thanks...I did have a Superfortress fall down once  

many thanks for the kind comments    apart from the old kits difficult fit it's a relatively straight forward build

ps the undercarriage would have to be made of titanium 

Yeah, or paper clips. They can handle a bit of weight.

Even if you're not underneath it if it falls, the thought of having to repair it is a bit daunting...

Go on!

It does look good, I would have blanked over the two outer cockpits so that the pilots have a unobstructed view. VTOL is the way to go,I'm sure that you can fabricate the inductors needed to lift it off the ground.
