DHC E-9A Widget Beta From Murph's Models 1/100

Friends here my last work...

DHC E-9A Widget A United States Air Force range control aircraft equipped with AN/APS-143(V)-1 radar that operates out of Tyndall AFB, Florida to ensure that the overwater military ranges in the Gulf of Mexico are clear of civilian boats and aircraft during live fire tests of air-launched missiles and other hazardous military activities. Two aircraft are assigned to the 82d Aerial Targets Squadron for the support of training missions. An E-9 can detect a person in a life raft in the water up to 25 miles away. Model from Murph's Models reescaled to 1/100 from 1/55 original scale. One pic is size comparation with earring from my wife...















Best regards!

The model looks great but is it just me or do these modern turbo props seem to have the wing too far aft.

It always appears to me as though the tail will need a ton of down force to support the forward fuselage. I guess all the forces balance as they seem to fly OK. Maybe its just an optical illusion.

I think Knife who has built quite a number of these planes mentioned somewhere on this forum, addressing this point about the wing being too far aft. Perhaps the designer, Aaron, is more suitable to give you an answer, Karl.

Every model I do is based off of a 3-view. I put the wing where the 3-view shows it to be. In other words, I blame my source material.
