The butcher stroke again, on the fuselages becoming pods.
Then I used at the rear the spinners from a previous double kit of the same (https://www.whatifmodellers.com/index.php?topic=48499.0)
Then adding putty and preparing the booms+fins.

Here in the UK Our Glorious Leader, Martin H, has established a Whiff SIG museum at the Coventry Aviation Museum, and wondrous it is too.

Mind you, they'll need to find MUCH more display space when I pass on as there won't be enough room for all my extra-long-winged creations. 

They'd need to build a new museum wing to fit in all your long wings!

Tophe, sorry to hear your bad news. Keep on fighting and please keep us updated.

Love it Tophe ! The one with the little booms just looks so right. Great job on that one.  One fine day, when we're allowed to travel again,  I'm going to show up at your door with a kit and fine bottle of French wine, have a cheers to your health and fly it around your back garden. Wishing you all the best my friend. With your always positive outlook, and the love of your friends and family, I know you can do it ! Love you pal. Mon ami.

Ahem, my little home has no garden, and... I am not a "good French", sorry: I don't like wine (I prefer American Mountain Dew), I don't like French cheese (I prefer Italian ice-cream)...
And for softwares I don't like French ones, I prefer Corel Draw/PhotoPaint from your own Canada! With it, I add mirror copies of the previous models:

P.S. Thanks Kerick too

Well, I'll have an Italian ice cream with you anytime, and a Mountain Dew, but not at the same time. I'm not sure it would go well together!
