Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Love the R2D2 GIB on the ARC Spitfire.  :thumbsup:
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! :)

:cheers:  2 wheels at the front, & one larger wheel at the end of the fuselage before the tail fin, reverse tripod style,  should do it?  :thumbsup:

I do love it.  It is so different.

The only thing I'd say is, the rear engine has the exhaust stacks on the wrong way round.............
