Now that's what you call speedy progress  ;D
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

A move has been made and the move can not be unmade ..it's all go now Dave  ;D
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

I beleive that I am correct in saying that on the other side of those sink marks are pin and socket joints to align the fuselage halfs. A fairly common occurrance in a lot of older kits.

That shouldn't be a problem Gondor mate ..Dave has a P80 to weld into that spot..should fix any alignment issues   ;D

The B-24 has been gutted.

Rough cut



Anyone seen a P-80 around here? 



It fits!

Coming along really well, Dave.  :thumbsup:
And an extra set of wings (smaller though they may be) will help a tad with extra lift.

I don't know who designed that but I'm sure those wings are to small for a fuselage that big  :wacko:

Looks like it was designed by The AntiKit...  :wacko:

Good work so far Dave.  Any thoughts to some form of doors to reduce drag once the fighter has been jettisoned?

What about a big inflatable bag to fill the vacated space? :unsure:

Maybe it could sit on the P-80's landing gear when on the ground. ;)
