The pieces for both wings now glued together

The first slaps of pastic-card added. More and a lot of PSR will follow until i gets the right form and profile.

That's OK, they're going to be longer, aren't they?  ;D
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! :)

Nope. Sorry. I stick pretty much to the original proposal from Gloster. Just wait till you see the new nose.

But they're longer than a standard Flatiron, which is what counts.

Nice one.

Some great hackage going on.

That image of the old bit of wing and lots of plastic card was very Mike McEvoy/Airfix magazine of the 70's type conversion.

Those new wings are going to make that Vulcan look pretty cool!

They are just physical manifestations of collisions between enigma & conundrum particles.

Any aircraft can be improved by giving it a SHARKMOUTH!

You're right. I too did quite a few of these in the 70's and 80's

The "real world" swallowed me for a while, but back from some weeks in Italy, the wings are finely done
