Going deeper in my pile of half-built kit, I decided to resurrect this one, forgotten since 2012.  :rolleyes:

As I am in painting mode, I could as well move this build, that was at this stage.
Owing to the current financial difficulties, the light at the end of the tunnel will be turned off until further notice.

Ohhh this looks cool ..I'm keeping a very close eye on this matey 😊
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 .

At last, managed to print and apply decals to the fuselage sides, now assembly can continue.
The national code XW is the only one not in use, when I checked, so I am free to use it for my ghost delivery service, the one that goes where Zenrat Industries' henchmen don't dare to fly  ;D ...

That looks promising. And it's easy to do, thanks to the aircraft's boxy shape.  :thumbsup:

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

The Do-28Z is taking shape. Now, after protecting the sides, some PSR work on fuselages top and bottom.
The inward-looking windows have been blanked off, as our unruly passengers used to make rude gestures from one fuselage to the other, and that brought to fistfights upon landing.  :rolleyes:

Hehehehe, I wonder if the pax did that when flying in the SM-55Xs?   ;D

It's the only twin fuselage'd airliner I can think of!
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! :)

Some PSR on the fuselage halves junctions later, and many white coats, the build is advancing: wings attached.
Unfortunately, the plane had suffered some damage trying to enter a too narrow hangar  :rolleyes:  and the technical crew had to fit wings from the aircraft of our consociate "Trans-desert Airways" with its characteristic colour scheme.
