Quote from: Mossie on September 02, 2023, 08:26:16 AMKit, looking at the instructions I can see the tail boom and nacelle would be ripe for adding longer wings, like a more modern Bristol 138...

Or put a flying boat hull on it. Had that idea many years ago.

Could convert the engines to jets, or the two outer ones with propellers on the two inner ones.

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

Thinking about a modern, stretched Argosy. Also wasn't to modernize the Beverly. You cannot view this attachment.

Was cleaning and organizing last night. Saw this box and had an idea. I thought a twin engine would look better, but that era would have been a single engine.

So      Many.       Whiff.        Parts!

Actually I know what you mean. Between my own model and woodworking projects and the stuff still my Dad's shop there is quite a bunch. There is still a pine log in the lathe that he was going to make a lamp out of.

I'll NEVER be able to do that, my heirs will have that job. :(
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! :)
