Everybody knows the DH-88 Comet that won the 1934 Melbourne Air Race. But what if the designers at De Havilland had gone another way in their design.

Now tell us Tom, is that bi-plane a Slip-wing variant, to get it airborne with a huge load of fuel?

They are just physical manifestations of collisions between enigma & conundrum particles.

Any aircraft can be improved by giving it a SHARKMOUTH!

Could have been, but is is meant as a full biplane.

The biplane and the 4 engined variants are great but I think you've gone too far with the twin engined monoplane... ;D ;D

- 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.

wonderfully done, the same plane  and yet so different. :thumbsup:
going to do a 0ne and 3 engine version as well ?  ( nose) and (wing nose wing) ?
the things you learn, give your mind the wings to fly, and the chains to hold yourself steady
take off and nuke the site form orbit, nope, time for the real thing, CAM and gridfire, call special circumstances. 
wow, its like freefalling into the Geofront

I must admiI thought slipping for the biplane as well. The 4 engined one is superb.
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.
