Precisely! It's amazing, and must have taken an AGE to paint!  :o
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 Rheged.  I'd love to see the Imperial War Museums collection of the test models.

Great paintings.  Particularly this one.
