My intention is to make the windows so big, this would look like a tiny 1/48 plane...

Finished at last (after my young son broke it twice)...

The asymmetry of the booms (as the triplane layout reducing span) is justified by the very little room remaining on my bookshelves...

Focus on the PL-123 Trukair...

Pure Topheism  :bow: :bow:

Now if that was painted yellow I could see it starring in it's own childrens tv cartoon series  ;D :thumbsup:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

The reasoning behind the boom's assymetry is wholly logical and wildly hilarious, both at the same time!  :thumbsup: ;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! :)

bravo indeed!

innovative, assymetric, and with booms : totally typical!

the grey color has a neutrality that makes the shapes stand out, but is a bit dull : I would also vote for yellow  ;)

Like the history of your daughter's Spitfire reversed wings!  ;D :lol:
Owing to the current financial difficulties, the light at the end of the tunnel will be turned off until further notice.

Exactly ! I know you don't like it Tophe, but from a military stand point, it looks like something special ops, that could be dropped from the back of a transport and sailing hundreds of miles undetected !

:wub:
CANADA KICKS arse !!!!

Long Live the Commonwealth !!!
Vive les Canadiens !
Where's my beer ?

Or for tourism, to fly over "national parks for birds" where propellers are forbidden... Thanks for this dream :thumbsup:

Thanks for your nice comments, all of you.
Just a detail: the colour is not grey but sky blue, as can be seen on a grey background:

Put some big eyes on instead of those windows, and you've got a character in the next "Cars" movie! :thumbsup:
Some of my models can be found on my Flickr album >>>HERE<<<

ah this view shows the asimetry very nicely

ok for the sky blue,  indeed
(it's just that I love bright colors  ;) )

Good idea: my next model will have eyes, I swear it will! Thanks a lot for the idea! :thumbsup:

Just part of the asymmetry, because the port boom starts drom the middle wing and the starboard boom starts from the high wing...

As far as I am concerned, I don't like bright colors, sorry (reminding my nasty brother, who is color-blind and always wears bright colors)...
