The Westland Scout will have to sit for a while, but I've hauked the Revell/Matchbox Twin Otter out of the stash and see it I can work the treatment on that. Options are floats for a direct rescue, or a SKAD of some type. A SKAD pod seem a bit large for underwing stores, and trying to drop it from between the floats could get into hangups. But we'll see.

Nose weight is in, but is it enough? Too much? Either way it shouldn't be difficult to adjust it. Popped in a couple of split-shot sinkers and held them in with plasticine, so once the fuselage is together I'll tape the wings on, tape the nose on, check for balance, and adjust without swearing.

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 .
