Yea, already figured out it's going to be a tailsitter, so am going to get half a tonne of lead shot in the nose to balance it up. Then I'm going to reinforce my man-cave walls and shelves so I can display this beast....

After many many many sessions of filling and sanding, I have finally got the wings to a reasonable state.....

Not perfect, but I'm sick of doing them now...

I toyed with a delta from the B-58 Hustler and changing the air intakes to something resembling the F-4 Phantom. Then I had another idea of a V/STOL version. Just gathing the parts at the moment.
Great build.

Those monster wings are all sorts of impressive, terrific work there.

Fun!

Having said I was fed up with sanding the wings, I immediately decided that the bit over the intake didn't look right, so I extended it up to the fuselage....

Good call. That wing-to-fuselage join looks way better ! This thing is gonna be awesome !

¡Madre de dios!

Keep it coming, looks wonderful!

Colour scheme?

Got a bit more done on this. It's on its own legs now, with the aid of 2 pretty big bolts behind the cockpit to weigh it down. And I have started making up the sensor/camera bay.

Captain Canada · April 29, 2014, 04:27:36 PM

That's gonna be huge ! Love it. Big, fast, and scary ! The sensor bay is coming along nicely. Always liked an aeroplane with lots of lumps and bumps.

Devilfish · April 29, 2014, 11:03:40 PM

Don't want too many, as it will create drag.....

This is Looking Superb

Keep it up & Don't let some JMNs Tell You Otherwise

This Baby has a bit of 'Gerry Anderson' Flavor to it!
