Nice!

... Antonov An-22 Freighter – I took Sheepster’s version, moved the wing low down & extended the roof further forward...

Or ... you could extend the 'Guppy' cabin further forward and pitch down directly onto the windscreen angle.
It's all fun and games until someone chews through the tree with the eyrie on top.

Yes, but that's too "normal" :D - I've already done similar to the Candid.

Another in the Arctic series ..... I have an AFV Club kit - was going to do it with sandbags etc on top ... but maybe this will be the chosen scheme.

Very nice  :smiley:

I've surprised myself by preferring the one in Aéronavale markings. Une 'Pacificatrice' ?   ;D

I must admit that I did not notice the change  :-[   I'm not very familiar with US Cold War bombers.
