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 .

That is truly MAGNIFICENT Dave! 

Just a pity there isn't a pale blue in the palette here, so royal blue it has to be.
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! :)

Beautiful idea and build!
From what build/experiment does the wing wreck come from?
Owing to the current financial difficulties, the light at the end of the tunnel will be turned off until further notice.

Thank you, the wreck is from an 1/144 scale Roden Aviation Trader Carvair.  This was left over from a previous mash up of a Carvair and Electra to make the Carvair Electra pictured below.  I had the wing, mid and aft fuselage left over and thought it could provide some interest and was a test bed for my Tophe Air Cargo paint job on decals on the DC-6 and C-54.  It also provided the #1 engine for the asymmetric DC-6

Thank you all for the kind words, glad it has been well received.  For Tophe!

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.
