Looking good. Did the imagination require any help? :drink:

Thanks Steve 😀
Imagination is always getting all of us in trouble and this is the same..started as one idea and got completely turned around...this is a first for me 😆 🤣
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 .

Right ,,I found the want to finish this build and the results didnt turn out half bad ,,,first off some painting took place .

That looks SO plausible! Magic work Phil .  :thumbsup:  :thumbsup:
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! :)

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Are you sure that wasn't a real aircraft?  :unsure:

Damn, that's good, Phill!  :thumbsup:  :thumbsup:  :thumbsup:

What Guy said! I bet there's a page in Francillon's book on this plane. Great job on the rigging, too!
