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 .

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

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

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

Magnificent piece of whiffery! Has a true madness-comes-home-to-roost feel about it.  :wub:
Cheers.

Excellent! Are you going to do the same with an MB 200 or an Amiot 143?

I have both kits in my stash as well, though at least one of them will be turned into a transport. Not as ambitious as your plans!

The body shape of both is just perfect for a sci-fi transport really.

I had two kits of the Amiot 143,  and made a exchange deal with a buddy from the club for another Potez 540 Kit to build a second Ornithopter, with the landing gear in flying position...
