At my Macchi MC 402 it goes on slowly. Many decals and other small items.
Here is my next project. Phoenix D. X of K.u.K. air force  ;)

The British have raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved". Soon though, security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or even "A Bit Cross". Londoners have not been "A Bit Cross" since the Blitz in 1940 when tea supplies ran out for three weeks

Good thing it's got all those cables to hold the tail on.  ;D

But how did you build it?
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! :)

Wow.  That's great.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

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

Perhaps more interestingly, how does it work?

Are those counter rotating props?

Doesn't look like it.

Nice & interesting plane but why keep the blunt "radial engine" nose, when a more pointed/streamlined one would work so much better? :blink:

Actually the props look like they're on backwards.  :unsure:

To push the aircraft nose first they'd have to rotate so the curved edge of the prop blade leads with a clockwise rotation viewed from aft, and that's not usually the case.

I seem to recall seeing a number of WW1 aircraft props with curved leading edges. :-\

From a purely practical PoV perhaps because it's not easy finding a piece of plastic the correct shape and size to stick on there?
I'm looking for a hemisphere approx 20mm in diameter for something but can I find one made of glue & paint friendly plastic?
