Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.

Thanks for the tip. According to the drawings, the mains have 3 axles. I've started modifying the kit u/c, but the plastic from the kit is very fragile.

A triumvirate of wonderfulness there, if ever I saw one!  :thumbsup:  :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! :)
