I am really liking this, totally on my wavelength as I love turbo propped ww2 fighters armed to the teeth. :bow: :thumbsup:

There are few aircraft on which a Wyvern nose would look right, apart from a Wyvern of course, but you've built one Pablo!  :thumbsup:

Awesome build indeed, but I'm glad I'm not the pilot, sat in between those two monster jet pipes!
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! :)

I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

I thought the same thing Kit, very toasty cockpit! Good in the winter though.  ;D

When the turbo past his pipeline around the pilot... the circumstances are not too diferent.
Remenber the Turbo was behind the pilot.
