In the first photo, the engine size is FRIGHTENING!  :thumbsup:
Are the fins and rudders from a B-25?

Horizontal tailplane, wing and engine nacelle are from a XF5F. The Vertical stabs are (I think) He219. Cowling I've no idea ;D.

....although I'm having serious doubts about her CG :banghead:

I see what you mean.  The step looks to be too far back IMO.  A lot of work to move it forward.  Stretching the hull and moving the wing back is also a lot of work.
It looks fantastic though.  That first pic is spectacular.
How about if you slid the wing back so it was above the step and then mounted the tail on a single boom extending from the back of the top of the hull.  The forward end of the boom could form the pilots headrest.
I might move the cockpit back so it remained at the trailing edge of the wing.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Finally got the new decals on. Primarily a STOL unarmed scout for the Navy, she retains the role in Indochina with the addition of a pair of smoke-rocket pods for FACish duties within the extensive estuarine systems of the region. Rediscovered Betty in a shoebox, knocked together one of several available dollies (for the Kyofu) and hey presto:

Wow! I love the new one! (also) :wub:

Sweet!!!  That turned out great.  I love the little homie on his tracked contraption, too, good find.. it always feels good to find and rescue stuff to put it to good use.

Anyway... I can see her now.. lazily patrolling just off the coast about 3,500 feet... takin in the warm sea breeze.

I want to see a whole air force of this stuff...   :mellow:
