Very nice!  :wub:. Would have torn the skies up, until the rear engine overheated at least.
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

No worries: Air scoop on top of the engine for cooling.

I really like that, and I know someone else on here who will too.................  ;)

You've almost made Tophe happy, Tom. All you had to do was leave one boom engineless & he'd have been a very happy lad! ;D

- 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.

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