The fastest freighter ever, the 'Stretchcorde'

Could have V/STOL capability 

Landing speed 0 mph instead of 200 mph? What a change!

I think they call that 'brakekneck speed '.

I've got another tailwheel now, from a Revell kit. But as they're both 1/144 scale it'll fit pretty well, all I have to do is paint it, and glue it in place.

While NOT letting it escape! 

[Steel Penguin]

quick Kit get it in a sandwich bag, and dont let it out 

[PR19_Kit]

It's painted, and it's glued in place! 

That's all the construction done, just some detail decals to go on and that's it.

We are all cheering for you, Kit.

Are you there yet? 3 days to go.

[PR19_Kit]

3 days? 

Dizzy would think up 3-4 projects in that length of time, start 2 of them and totally finish at least one!

All I've got to do is put some decals on, it SHOULD be simples............

I thought of building another one myself but three is enough. I might even get a vote!

And it's DONE at last.   

The Stretchcorde, the fastest way of getting your freight from A-B, so long as B is not more than 3500 miles away from A.

The pointy end.

Oh, that end's pointy too.

Even the wings look a bit pointy as well...................But they're nice and wide.

The reason for all the stretching, the cargo door.

The pesky tailwheel in place at last. OK, it's a Revell kit one, not my scratched one, but it's a tailwheel....

See what I mean about the number of warning decals around the engines?

The air goes in here very quickly and cold........


You cannot view this attachment.

.....and it comes out here a LOT hotter and even faster! 

I'm still writing the backstory and I'll post a link pretty soon.
