Amazing work on the colors and sharpening this up... And a great looking build from the limited view that we have of it Billy.

Nice build so far Billy!!
I like it

Hmm… Actually I’m relieved to see that the red lines and the blue color in the engine nacelles seem to match fairly well. I was a bit worried about it.


After you finish it, don't forget to test it properly. Just follow the example on this video:

Cool, I did notice that only the pilot seats had safety belts....

Safety belts are very needed in case a daring pilot decides to make a loop with the passengers on board

Now they've been added to the kit

He he , I was only joking, but that video is incredible

That guy was nuts!! I can not believe what he did! I also could not believe how poorly that plane rolls. It shows the built in stability of the aircraft. It must have been a specially modified aircraft. It probably had an increased wing loading capacity and larger than normal pilot seat, to carry the "gonads" (juevos) necessary for the feats witnessed.

It's in the middle of summer.. outside it's 13 C / 55 F and raining all day
No boat trips, barbeques, swimming-pools or sunglasses for me today, just scissors knife and glue and guess what ; I like it!

[Rubenandres77]

I like it too

Looks very nice, so good, I even downloaded the picture and rotted it, and that's a lot of work for me!

I decided to put on the original cockpit, and not let everybody wait till I figured out how to design the more streamlined cockpit , so her it is, btw it's still raining..
