  thanks Dizz.

Prop and spinner are Hasegawa.  Possibly something japanese.  I cut about 4mm off the end of each blade.

If you added a contraprop, you'd be able to reduce the prop diameter.

No no no.  Fart oo sensible.  Daddy long legs is the way to go.
That way the (probably) Spitfire radiators will be more visible.

No no no.  Fart oo sensible.

Those darn auto spell checkers! Or at least that's what I would blame it on........

Love the mock-up ! For sure that has Tophe all over it. Nice one.

Very suitable mods.. and still early days

Oh how well you know me...

Undercarriage sorted (as far as parts and technique go).
Phantom main legs are too short so I have extended them each by an inch.  This will be fart oo much but i'll cut them back down when the time comes.
These will slide into sockets glued into the wings inboard of the stock leg mounting points.  Sods law came into play when the port socket lined up precisely with the metal pin I used to stiffen the forward boom.   But I got around that.
So she'll have longer than normal undercarriage but a narrower track - like an anime girl, long legs with snake hips.

I've been gluing bits on.  Exhausts, air inlet and radiators are in place.
More filler needed.
