Looks great. Any derivatives of my favourite plane are worth a look. Nice job.

A stunner Martin! Always wish somebody had really tried that sucker.

Good, ain't they.
I built a Tennessee ANG one too.....I'll pop it along to Bolton, and it can stand alongside your VTOL ones, along with my Washington ANG and Luftwaffe one.
I must admit, I fancy doing some more myself as they look so nice....

RAF, Aussie, and possibly USN

Very nice Martin, I picked up one of those conversion a while ago, I'll have to get it out and see if I can do just as good a job.

its quite a simple conversion once you clean up the resin and remove the wing root. Ive already got an idea for a posible 2nd example.
