CA-23 Scale 8

Hi my names Brian,
I started my project a few months ago and have finally got it ready for painting. I slowed up a little as I'm getting old now. I hope to have it finished in 2 months. I have the Australian Design Museum coming to take a look at it in the next few weeks as they would like to put it in the museum. I would have loved to keep it but unfortunately my wife said it's to big to hang from the dining room ceiling.
The wing span of the CA-23 was between 31ft-33ft as they would sometimes change the span on test flights if needed.
When I got the drawings off the designer I also got the blueprints which included the insulation of the wings.
Please find attached the most recent pictures of my project.

Just imagine if it had actually been built, a contemporary of the CF-100 with the performance more akin to an F-102, more to the point, what would have followed it?.

Amazing work Brian (and thanks to Brian for the photo share!)! It must be huge!
And tempting to put an R/C jet or two in it...

You sure don't mess around! That's huge! And very well done, it belongs in the museum. Just make sure they give you a free membership in return.
I have a feeling you've built a few boats in your shop. Am I right?

Up, Brian? Have you a hairy stick bigger than a size 6? I think you may even need a roller.
And a bigger house.
Great work tho.
