Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

We Americans seem hooked on semetrical things so I think the off-set canopy would doom this project eairy on. That has the the poor WSO get out when the plane is going down in flames!  :o
But I do love what you did. An outstanding bit of WhIffery.

And what about the "downward" ejection seat? Typically US if not wrong.....  :lol:

How about a sideways ejector seat?  ;D

AWESOME piece of work, I'm sure Mr. Roth would be pleased with your work too.  :thumbsup: :bow:
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! :)

America's first "ComSymp" aircraft---leaning to the left!!  :rolleyes:

Plus...offset canopies are good "whiff" material...here is one I did:

My mind is like a compost heap: both "fertile" and "rotten"!

Not to say I don't love what you have done. It is a great looking airship.  :cheers: And now that the top panel is marked for the canopy ejector system  I'll call it an excellent design that should have been built and flown.

Love the idea of whiffing a silly model by making it serious!  :thumbsup:

Now if only I could find/afford one of those Yellow Submarine models...... :wacko:
