Another plane crafted of ultralightweight goldinium. If you keep to the scale of the engines, the fuselage is only about 5' in cross section, so the windscreen is pretty tunnel-ous. Maybe a bubble canopy 1/3 the way back from the nose...

I know---- I have sent the inner JMN to go do dishes....

Beautiful build of course!

And unlike the US airlines, no need to beat the cr@p out of the pilot in order to land!

Interesting idea  :thumbsup:, would need a complete make-over ie camo etc otherwise it would mess with your head scalewise, but worth it I'm sure, although I'd be asked to wear the straight jacket for sure ;D :thumbsup:

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

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! :)
