No need of engine: it is powered by The Force! (what-if...) ;D

Starting with putty...

During the first sanding, one tailplane broke off and I had to glue it again :-\

No worries, it'll break off another 3-4 times if you're anything like I am.  ;D

Thanks for the psychological support...

During 2nd putty drying, I have taken care of the wings.
As I lack room in my shelves, my project was to greatly reduce the span. For that, the first project was cutting the external part of the wings and discard the central part of the wings (with the included belly of the fuselage). In my twin-boom Mustang, this had been a very long and unpleasant work... :-\ So here, I plan at last another way: installing the central part normally (with putty on the tips to make them plain), and having the external parts as biplane/sesquiplane!

This is the new project of mine:

If you do not recognize a Mustang there, this is normal: it is a side-effect of the antipsychotic drug I am taking everyday (if you are mentally sane, you cannot understand) ;)

We'll all grasp that straight away then.  ;D ;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! :)

Thanks!
And you know what? I succeeded in making it solid, "like Real"! This was not delirium at all...

The neo-biplane design is awesome. Had a biplane Starfighter project ongoing myself, though I haven't had the time. Love it.  :wub:

Thanks!
(the color is a kind of blue, more than grey)
Now I have painted the side above. Just remains drying than painting black the 3 canopies. ;D

Ahh yeah, that's right, I have the brightness settings turned down on my monitor!  I like blue better.  ;D
