I hope the weather holds for you, as it can be lovely in good weather. The forecast for next week is cloudy but getting up to the low 30C's

Enjoy yourselves

Looking great Dave.   :thumbsup:

- 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.

Very interesting.
How  Little Red Riding Hood said to her grandmother? "What a long nose you have, grandmother?"  <_<
The fuselage reminds me of some High-speed trains, maybe the spanish AVE.
Owing to the current financial difficulties, the light at the end of the tunnel will be turned off until further notice.

A wondefull bit of modelling, and very Trilander looking.
Early Trilanders had a problem with loading, when unloaded they frequently resorted to a tail sitting attitude!
The answer was a pole that was carried in the rear baggae compartment that ground crew had to put in place before any rear luggege was removed.
Later versions had the longer nose with a baggage compartment which helped a little bit.
I have, in my time as an ATCO at Glasgow airport, seen on two occasions Trilanders with their noses high in the air when parked!  :rolleyes:

Cats are not real. 
They are just physical manifestations of collisions between enigma & conundrum particles.

Any aircraft can be improved by giving it a SHARKMOUTH!

It did remind me of something, now I know what. Thank you  :thumbsup:

It's certainly coming together. I can see her parked at Southampton all ready to take me to the Channel Islands  :thumbsup:

With the main wing relatively far back, have you thought about potentially adding canards and turning it into a three surface configuration?

Would be marching to the beat of his own drum, if he didn't detest marching to any drumbeat at all so much.

Thanks

And yes I was thinking just like you. The wings are offset to the rear. But will keep it like a trislander. it's not that much offset like my earlier IH Transall.

Got back from holiday 'bout two weeks ago. Had little time for some modelling since but, found some time today. So time for some updates:

Big psr on this project is done, now time for some finishing PSR and get it ready for final assembly.

And very plausible it would be too.  :thumbsup:
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! :)
