Sorry to be a pain, could you tell me which Presto?

The tubes look like this :-



and they're about 1.5 times the size of the lager tubes of Evo-Stick.
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! :)

Excellent work as always, Thomas! I'd love to see you do a take on a Twin P-40 version. Seen the original design and we all know you could do better. Maybe use a P-40N?

What a lovely job :thumbsup: (as ever :rolleyes:)
Although the more I look at it the more it looks like a DH 88 comet on steroids :o
Are you sure you haven't made a mistake? And actually built the German entry

(It could have been called the 'Komet') :drink:

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

"Presto Finish". Available in a 500g tin can (not recommended), or in a 100g tube (perfect for the styrene modeler, but hard to track down - it's available here in Germany at a car supply chain called ATU, at least in my region!).

Here's a pic of the packaging:

Excellent build.  I had a similar idea but was blending the engines from a Bf110 and the fuselage of the 109.  My build is very slow and am battling fit problems.  Such is the life of what-if.

Yours is beautiful

Cracking build!  :thumbsup:
Cheers,

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

Thought about something similiar, merlin engined, spitfire based and while researching, found out about De Havilland Hornet...  ;D

Brilliant.

- 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.

It's mine, one of my first major kitbashings, based on a real Luft 46 project, it did not have a RLM number.
