Yes, but are they long enough?

No wings are EVER long enough!  ;D
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! :)

The Wooksta!

Personally, I'm dubious that the Soviets would have kept with the Jumo engines when they had better and more powerful engines of their own.

I agree, but my skills don't extend to replacing them ;D

The Wooksta!

Easy!  Just fit with a different Russian radial instead of the Jumo power eggs.

Maybe those are better and more powerful engines of their own, they just look like Jumos...?

- 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.

To that end, why not modify the lumps and bumps on the engine cowling, or even turn them upside down or something so that they look different.

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Looks like 2p pieces are just the right diameter to fit inside the front behind the cockpit to add weight to try and stop tall sitting. Instructions say it needs 60g - I reckon 18p should do it, and I'll add some extra weight inside the engine cowlings as well in a belt and braces approach ;D

18p is NOT enoough :banghead: :banghead: It's gonna need the extra weight in the engines to have even a chance of not tail-sitting
