I guess there will be some similarities to the Vickers 663 Tay-Viscount ....  ;D

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

After the wings have been added to the fuselage, it now look like an aircraft.

The wings have been added in a bit different position than on the original model, so I am now almost running out of putty.

My engineer helps me a bit with the photos:

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! :)

Some color has been added, but still a way to go.



In difference to the Tay Viscount, the landing gear will not be mounted in the engine pods, as the Jumo-006 does not provide enough space for it. Therefore, additional pods were mounted to the inner wings.

That sounds a very sensible idea. I've always wondered at the sanity of designers who folded up rubber tyres right next door to a blazing hot jet exhaust, viz. Tay Viscount, Vautour, B-47 etc. etc.

Sadly, I do not have so much time for model building right now, but at least the main colors are now added to the plane.

My engineer checks everything before we can start to make the decals for it.

That is a neat looking design and with those engine nacelles very much of the period  :thumbsup:

Coming together like a set of butt cheeks!! Can't beat it.  That yellow on the tail is going to be a hilite of this build, I'm sure of it!

I first wanted to make this as another Lufthansa plane in the Fahtherland universe. But after I airbrushed it completly in yellow to see where I need some additionall sanding, the yellow tail looked quite good. So I decided to keep the yellow tail and so it will by some other hypothetical airline. Still have to decide which name it will get.

Could become an early Condor airliner (the Lufthansa cahrter flight sister) in the original livery (here's a retro B767):



Just needs some blue trim.  ;D

That's a good lookin' livery right there!

Well, yes, it look a bit like a Condor, but it will be something different.

My engineer now added all the decals form the original kit, so we have some windows on the plane. Looks much better now.



In the meantime, the airline decals are printed and are prepared to be added to the model.
