Seriously though, looks great.  In Hemp you almost have to take a second look to realize it has 4 engines and Storm Shadows.

Good luck on the move South!!   :thumbsup:

My views exactly - tremendous stuff
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Wow - that looks so right! Very convincing...  :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I've also done a lot of motorcycle racing this summer which basically wipes out every weekend.

What kind of motorcycle racing ? Big down there, eh ? I just found Micoproducts, and am trying to scrounge up the $4500 to buy a frame for my RZ !  Ugh....

Anyway, on to the model ! What a beauty ! Your paint finish is impeccable ! Great execution on a really cool idea. I bet that would really turn a few heads and get people thinking.....


:cheers:
CANADA KICKS arse !!!!

Just club racing in Belgium and the Netherlands - I use a 2006 Yamaha R1 that I bought from a bankrupt endurance racing team in France. I've also got a 2008 Kawasaki ZX-10R for the street but I partially disassembled it to fit a PCIII and Akra pipe but never got around to putting it back together.

Thanks for all the kind comments guys. It's the appreciation of the community that makes the hours of putty-sand-repeat all worthwhile.

Man, I feel like a real pinhead now but, if AD hadn't mentioned it, I would not have noticed the four engines (you did that good of a job, Simon!).  Me=  :banghead:

How about the original Westland bomber proposal, with a single big centrifugal engine in the rear fuselage?
