Nice! Did you reverse the main wings? They almost look like the wings of the IL-28.

Yes , reversed the wings and THEN also turned the engines again, so they stay in original direction …
But also changed a lot of the wings in little details to become a stronger corner , I will look for pictures of that work .

I've made some fine cuts throug the wings and spread each of them a bit ... Fixed with small pieces of sheet and glue together. I always try to use so much plastic as possible to make the parts stronger .
The sheet can be cut off easy .  Some Millimeter each cut give a lot of shape all together .

My original job is Gentleman Taylor and this is very similar to that .

And now i decide to make a racing color scheme , somewhere must be some decals who will fit , and since yesterday we have yellow frogtape which works a bit better than washi or similar stuff ...

 :smiley: More speed ?  Well, Yes, obviously painting the engines red means they will produce more power & speed 8)

Well know fact; paint anything red & it goes faster, especially if you put go-faster stripes on it, too! ;)

Of course, obviously.  A speed trick used on cars.  Works well here too  :smiley:
