[Vic Balshaw]

Almost like something invented by Leonardo Da Vichi or from a Jules Verne novel

Whoops

Just found this thread.

Can't wait!

Painted the interior and added some items like tanks, piping and a clip board into the interior to make it not as stark. Also added seats and control wheels for the pilot and co-pilot.

Looks great so far VB!

 

[Crimea_River]

Nice progress!

 

[Airframes]

Hell's teeth! Looks like that monstosity was flown by a committee! Think they should have stuck to cooking and wine making!
I think the 'co-pilot's' position is actually an alternative position for the pilot, to afford him a (slightly) better view, possibly on the bomb run. Or should that be bomb 'stroll'?!!
Nice work so far mate, looking forward to seeing this come together.

I relly dig your great workmanship, and unusual choices.

This is very interesting to watch VB

 

[Airframes]

For an ugly, angular slab of a flying machine, it looks great VB. It nearly beats the Wildcat for the silliest looking aircraft prize!! Notice I said 'nearly'!!

 

[B-17engineer]

No Terry, it does beat the Wildcat.

I think your being a bit irrational when it comes to the Wildcat's physical appearance

Oh Great work !!!

 

[DBII]

but Wildcats have such nice personalities...

Going great VB! Picked a colour scheme? Can't imagine there would be a lot of after market decals around on this one.
