Well its primed and id intended to start giving it some colour ...then a ended having to change a trailing arm bush in a Toyota Estima and that was that..more damage to my hands ..so that's gonna suck tomorrow..oh well .
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 .

The cockpit looks top-notch, Phil, & the rest looks only slightly over the topl! :thumbsup:  :thumbsup:  ;)

That engine swap works REMARKABLY well!  :thumbsup:  :thumbsup:
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! :)

Thanks gentlemen 😄
I gave a feeling it's gonna look even better with paint ..the think the camo that the FAA used will work with this shape .

Elegant, but aren't the engines a bit far forward?  :o
Curious about the cooler arrangement!

Thomas mate yeah the engines are a little forward but thats deliberate..gets the look I wanted and as for cooling..it has the intakes under the engines and also there's intakes along the leading edge of the wings .
