Canard(S)??

Looks to me that there is only one, on the port side!  :rolleyes: SURELY if there was on on the other side it would have protruded into the picture, yes?

It's there.  Look at the shadow.

Cheers,

Logan

This is one cool-looking bird! With its Concorde roots, you could make it a general's "hack" to take his staff out on junkets!

I have noticed you have a penchant for photographing your models on rubbish bin lids. I feared maybe you were ready to throw it away, but thought, "I'll take a photo of it and show it to the whiffers--if they like it I'll keep it". Please keep it!



Thanks very much for the comments there Craig, and yep Logan is very sharp there in seeing the reflection/shadow from the top of the bin.
I use the bin as it seems to work well as a background (and if I don't like it it can go in the plastics recycling bin  :wacko:).
Thanks also for tidying up the picture for me Craig, I had just replaced the original decals with those ones, literally 5 minutes earlier, and it has yet to have a clear coat applied. That will have to wait until the canard problem is dealt with. Then, and only then will I put some more pictures up of the thing.
Cheers everyone,
Chris.
