OMG, that's huge! And with 12 machine guns!?

It sure is, quite a bit larger than a B-25!

And yes, it all twelve 0.5s, I figured that was enough, and adding the 8 gun pod on the centre sections would have been overkill.

Lovely.
Looking forward to seeing that contra prop installed on it.

I've done the other two props as well, but once you've seen one prop you've seen 'em all, right?  ;D

They'll appear on the full assembly eventually. Right now I'm summoning up the courage to start scribing in the minimal panel lines, no WAY am I going to do the whole, I'd go daft.

I was surprised how well the silver came out, on two previous NMF aircraft, using the same can, it was a tad blotchy, and looked a bit like newsprint scaled up. Perhaps as the gas pressure drops as the can empties it gives a smoother spray?

Could also be temperature/humidity/tide/phase of the moon related.

I would have kept the center cockpit, and turned it into a 3-seat trainer- with three sets of active controls, so that one pilot could work with two trainees simultaneously. Imagine how impressive a sight that would be, watching her cartwheel across the sky... ;D

Yes, but my backstory has it as an ultra-long range escort fighter with the centre fuselage as a powered fuel tank.

Of course you're free to build one your way as well..............

That's very Bert Rutan-ish, Kit.

For even longer range you could have the outer fuselages as tanks and a tandem cockpit in the centre...

Looks great kit :thumbsup:

Underemployment.  Can't say I recommend it but there are some advantages.
