Too rich for my blood, and way too big, but I'd love to see someone build it.

It seems like the aviation equivalent of that huge paper model of the SD14 general cargo ship (http://www.marcle.co.uk/sd14.htm).

Doing a version using aluminum tooling foil has crossed my mind (speed of light in a vacuum is the maximum allowed). Something like the old United Airlines "City of" series. The Alan Rose DC-3 is sort of like hard pack Marlboro's cigarettes in the old Soviet Union..., The unopened hard pack was a valuable form of currency..., no one ever smoked any of the cigarettes as it would have ruined the value...,

I just don't see the point of a model that's only the front half of the aircraft.... Was he too lazy to finish the design or something??

Its a wall hanger. A six foot plus wingspan model is otherwise a tad over the limit for a connubial viability...,
