With an engine THAT big on the front a fixed gear would be irrelevant after it'd taken off, it would have been ripped off in the slipstream.  ;D :lol:

Which is why you would protect them with spats... :thumbsup:

They'd better be VERY low drag spats!
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! :)

The first three images here are of the 1 DXXI with retractable u/c.

There's even a Special Hobby kit of the prototype in 1:72, AFAIK. But im provisation is more fun, and cheaper.  ;)
Yes, special hobby built D.XXI.5 sarja and it's expensive in here. Same like you, I prefer Cheaper and fun  :cheers:

Captain Canada

Excellent work ! It's nice to see pics like that, before any painting is done to give us the idea of how you went about it. Cheers for that !

The colours look just fine to me, and so does the aircraft.  :thumbsup:

There are no wrong colours, just different contexts.

It looks very purposeful.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

That looks cool and not D.XXI-ish at all. Reminds me of the XP-37 prototypes?

Very nice one, wonder if I can build a Merlin-powered one from the D.XXI kit I still have in store.

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

Captain Canada

Ya I'd say the colours look fine ! And there are no wrong colours  :thumbsup: Once the markings are on and a bit of weathering she'll be right at home.
