That cockpit glaseing reminds me of something but as I am not a civilian aircraft buff I have no idea what it looks like :banghead:

Thank you, the Piaggio looks closest to what I was thinking.

Hmm! nice bit of razor saw work there Simon. I think I would have gone with a couple more windows to use though  ;) ;) ;)

But seeing your handiwork, I've change how I was planning on stretching the fuselage on one of my HS.125's

I was thinking the same thing  :thumbsup:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

I need the rest of the fuselage for the craniotomy on the bulge. I'll probably drill the windows, or I might just paint them in.

The main reason for the z cut was to keep the undercarriage bay, but I realised if I extended it I could take care of the wing box, win win. :thumbsup:. The only problem is the B-57 nose starts to curve at that point, so I've got an odd shape that I need to take care of (or ignore).
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.

This is one sexy looking design. One of those things that you wish had really existed.  :thumbsup:

Strangely, my goal is not necessarily to finish it for Sunday, I started too late.  It's mostly to get my mojo going and get something finished.

Best plan ever!  :wub:

Cheers guys!  :thumbsup:

Latest update, lid is on.  I've cut out a little shim of card to give a rough idea of what the canopy cover will look like.

I'm looking forward to seeing a Dominie with a tandem canopy.

I did offer it up, but there's not much of the poor Dominie left, sacrificed for the greater good.  It has got me wondering what to graft the wings onto though.

I have a Dominie in the stash and this is giving me ideas for a nose swap of my own.
