China Syndrome eat ya heart out! That should be the next summer blockbuster. An atomic/pyroclastic cloud? Now if you could somehow work in a sharknado as well.....

Seriously though, great picture!

Paint!  All except the outer wings is now resplendent in gloss white enamel.

When testing the Victomic Handley Page took a leaf out of the motor industry's book and created a fake body to disguise it's true form...

Didn't they do that for real with the Victor prototype? IIRC it was trucked from Radlett to another airfield for flight testing with the fuselage disguised as a big yacht!

They shoulda disguised it as a submarine to put the wind-up the RN.

Really, really looking very nice.

Thanks BB.

Still plenty of opportunity for me to screw up.   

[McColm]

Is that the drone version?

[zenrat]

No, it's still got masking tape on the windows.

No progress today.  Rain on the shed roof rendered it too noisy to hang around in there for long.

Looking good. If anything, I'd say leave it white overall, for heat-dissipation.. or something.

YFM, of course.

[zenrat]

It's going to be mostly white.  Just getting some red and blue cheat lines, it's name, the logos of the three major players and a number of radiation warning symbols scattered across the airframe.

[zenrat]

Some colour.

White AND Red. Toss in some yellow and you will have self flagellation to the max

Go you good thing.

The red line on white makes me think that she'd look good in Raspberry Ripple.
