This is fabulous!

To get the swept-forward wings, did you re-engineer the wings to have the trailing edges and leading edges "reversed"? That is, thicken one and thin the other? Or....?
My mind is like a compost heap: both "fertile" and "rotten"!

Thanks to all. Yes Craig, more or less; a lot of work sanding. :-\

Now that's just wicked.  I think yours and mine should fight!  A battle of the forward-swept!

Lovely execution!

Oh yes, it´s true; against your fantastic He 162 S-2. Good luck  ;D

Forward-swept wings.....one of my favourite configurations. I remember now the two projects i made before: Junkers EF 131, and Cornelius XFG.

Looking at that Junkers pair makes your eyes go crossed!  :o
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! :)
