Terrific looking aircraft (I think...) but the pics are SO big it's impossible to see them all in one go, even on a widescreen. Any chance of shrinking them a tad so we can see it all in one go please?

Magic, thanks.

That's quite something, looks like they took a DC-10 and shrunk it way past what was sensible and had to sling out the two wing engines.

How long before Hasegawa kits it in 1/48?

You can "zoom out" in your browser until it all fits. In Firefox I press the CTRL button and scroll down. CTRL 0 (zero) brings it back to normal.

It's a very cool looking airplane!

A really ugly aeroplane. Sorry Piper, but I hate it!

Hmmm, I don't see ugly there, maybe a bit of awkwardness. And I'm probably not the only one who sees a bit of the Navajo/Cheyenne evolutionary lineage in that fuselage, that's always a plus!

I actually like it - makes a nice change from all the standard light jets with their twin engines at the back.

A private jet with only one engine . . . now that's different. And I think it's kinda cute . . .
