Low-cost alternative to the 2707 ? mach 4 Bizjet ?
I think I'll love this one... (Homer drool, Homer drool...)

Here's what it looks like with decals. The rain has arrived that is the leading edge of the front, so it might be a bit tough to get the gloss coat applied.

Maybe it should have been TWA markings as Howard Hughes own personal plane.

I was going to say the same thing.

Just before clear coat. Hopefully everything's dry.   Thank you, Everyone for watching this very short build.

Short doesn't necessarilly mean improductive.

This short time build can attest to that!!!

Spectcular outcome, Eddie!!!

[Slight Texas accent] "Ladies and Gentlemen, on behalf of your flightcrew, I'd like to thank you for choosing Eastern Airlines on this non-stop New York to London flight.  We'll be cruising at an undisclosed altitude well above seventy thousand feet.  We're expecting to reach London in about three hours and seventeen minutes as we did have a bit of a headwind upon departure from JFK.  Sit back and enjoy the view of the Earth's curvature as we settle into Mach 3..."

Brilliant...    

[B777LR]

Eastern airlines new supersonic service to moscow! Unfortunatly plane will accidently get lost and fly above military installations

Killer Habu Eddie.. looks quite the part surprisingly.

A sad comment on the fact that this beautiful plane is out of service and even sadder that such a 60s tech marvel looks wayyyy better than the other one on the calender..

OK i'll get my hat, coat, bat & ball

I have finished this little flight of fancy. About 4 or 5 hours to complete. Spent more time watching paint dry, but what else is new. The decals came from my DC-3 that I did for the 1 week build. I definately want to purchase a few more of these Blackbird beauties, as they have a lot of WHIF potential. B)
