Well troubles or not Kit, it still looks good. Interesting concept too: I'd never though of having non-powered props as a way of getting around the "where does the drive shaft go?" issue. Nice bit of lateral thinking there.

Also, you've finished something with a cockpit interior, undercarriage and a three-colour scheme faster than I've managed to finish one with a single-colour scheme, no gear and a head-on-a-shelf cockpit!


Quote from: PR19_Kit on Yesterday at 09:59:45 AMThe Swift FR5 has swept fin flashes to match the sweep angle of the fin, so they were effectively custom made! I've manged to print some white outlined ones, but was hampered by a devious scanner.  :banghead:

Yes I noticed that one limitation of the FPS sheet is that it doesn't cater for swept fin flashes. Difficult to I suppose, since they were so non-standardised.
