You're going to need a much bigger fillet.  Copy the one from the Matchbox Beau to see what I mean.

With wings like that call it a Beaugull or Beaugatross.

She's looking lovely.  I am almost tempted to abandon my plans for my second Airfix old mould Beau and join in the fun.

- 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.

Either that or lengthen the fuselage. I know which one would be easier............
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! :)

It'll be disregarded and named David Attenborough anyway!

Hahahaha, that's genuinely what I was planning to do   :lol:

Dont pike out !!

How about using Boaty McFloatface as the aircrews graffito on the aircraft, accompanied by a picture of Boris Johnsons face ?  :wacko:

As always with my builds, you're more than welcome to copy the idea, even do different variants of it, I'd love to see others  :lol:

I was thinking of naming the life raft instead ;D and if you can supply the decal, I will genuinely add that as the nose art  ;D
