And wings at 45o to horizontal (look at the vanes inside the engine intakes) with the pilot angled at about 22.5o. :wacko:

They'll be cloned Speys they copied from their Tridents of course.  ;D
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! :)

It's to try to straighten the flight line, as the right wing is smaller than the left, but someone was already convinced the plane would "fly" inverted, the markings on the right engine are nearly topside.  :rolleyes: :banghead:

I like the fact it's from "The Other Side Series"  ;D

Other side of what ? Reality ?  ;)
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.
