Wait, what's that sound?  Oh, yeah, hundreds of JMN gritting their teeth... 

Interesting looks from above in the last image.  The overall length would almost make this a candidate for a nose wheel.

Welcome back to the fold, Ron - good to see you back up to your old sledgehammery as always.

Looking forward to where this beastly beauty will come out - elliptical wings, t-tail, and that long schnoz... she'll be pretty damn impressive.  I'm with Jeff, she looks almost long and heavy enough in the nose she'd lean forward and want a nosewheel with that griffon.

AAAHHH It's so good to be back . It's also good to be back with like minds. I purposely left the nose long and mounted it high to make room for a nose wheel.  :wacko: I had originally intended to mount the nose low and add guns above the engine but I think it blends better this way. Anyway everyone knows this will have a 16 cylinder Toolslinger Engine Works motor so there should be no problem fitting anything I like around it :wacko: ;D :rolleyes: :lol:

You've been missed around these parts, Ron! Already you've got me excited to see your next update to these two wonders. The nosewheel and T tail are some very innovative ideas, pardner!

Nice nose Ron!

Just one thing: if the air intake's there, how is it going to have a nosewheel? :unsure:

It's good to be back EBlue :wub:
Weaver I am still working out all the placement details :blink:
I got a major wild hair(hare) last night. I wanted to get both the Spitfire and Mustang stink off this one and just was not satisfied with the lower countours so I.......
Added a bunch o plastic



I then took her to the dreaded and feared BELT SANDER


Then I slung a bunch o putty at her



The primary purpose of this atrocity is to create a smooth flowing curve all along the bottom surface. All the intakes ,engine, radiator, etc. will be NACA type flush openings :wacko: :wub: :thumbsup: :drink:
