I LOVE the way you do those magazine entries and box-top things!  :wub:

How about a teach-in on how you do it please?
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! :)

Regards

Sure I'll try and do a step by step guide in the modelling tips etc. Section. You will need some kind of Photoshop or equivalent  :thumbsup:

Quote from: PR19_Kit on September 28, 2023, 08:33:43 AMCanard aircraft have a very wide CG range apparently, I'm not sure why, but they do, so the bomb bay in the middle of the fuselage should work fine.

It's not so much canards as tandem wings that have the wide CofG range. Basically, you can adjust the centre of lift by always applying an upwards trim force at one end or the other, and since both surfaces are large, you can do it with relatively small trim surface deflections which don't induce much drag.

Very good build and presentation using the boxtop and magazine images.. very inventive.

 Is the masking still on the rear turret transparencies ?

No all gun turrets are remotely controlled on this version so they are not transparent

- 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.

Fantastic Plastic did a resin version of the cover aircraft (Vickers?) in 1/144th scale. I've seen one or two at shows.

The late great Mike McEvoy built more than a couple of them, it's a really good kit, but not cheap of course.

That's a stunning looker  :thumbsup:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.
