Thanks.
After slept on I too am leaning towards 3 engines but with design #2 with the outboard stabs. There are also other goodies you'll see when it is built.

Looking forward to it :smiley: ;)

Agreed.

Certainly a feast of interesting concepts here

Finally a photo. I front end loaded the build by closing up the landing gear bays, cutting new ones (look inside the fuselage) as it will be a tandem design, closing up and making new pylon locations.

Looking good Carl :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

Yep, three engines is way to go. In styrene form is better than drawing.

Agreed !
Tidy piece o' plastic surgery Mr. Wombat :smiley: :smiley:

Liking this a lot

Heck of a configuration and coming together well. :smiley:

Looking at your build just now I had a flash of an idea! How about painting it up to look like a WB-57? High altitude research aircraft.......
-
lovely twin !
a bit too symmetric ?

Now that really looks the business :smiley: :smiley:
What 'Mog said ;) Brian would love it. And certainly Tophe would approve too (wherever he's gotten to). :smiley:

More progress. Time to paint all the fiddly bits.

Silver and black is working. Dual radars must provide awesome detection performance for the time.
