Trev. Hi Trev, Lets put it this way. Not meant to fly, but with the wing span of this beast, it might glide a while before meeting it`s ultimate demise. Regards delboy271155 (Derek) COME BACK GUY FAWKES "YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU"

This will not be fully skinned for that very reason. There is so much work on the inside, it would be a serious shame to then hide it all. Hope you enjoy.

Approx figs: Length: 26" - 66cms. Real size 21.11 mtrs Wingspan:38" - 96.5cms. Real size 31.09 mtrs If I can`t house this one when finished, then I may have to find a local museum to donate it too. Or another option is to auction it for a military charity. Obviously would want to keep and display, just need to find a case big enough and boy it will need to be big!!

You could wall mount it Del, I'm sure I have seen larger model aircraft displayed flat against the wall or on a movable bracket like the ones you get for TV's? Steve

Steve Hi Steve, Have just been told recently that the official mirrored base is still available, may be able to do something there. I`ll have to do some searching and see what`s around. Thanks for getting back on that one. Regards delboy271155 (Derek) COME BACK GUY FAWKES "YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU"

Nice one, I see you are setting the bar for build of the year on day 1 can't wait to see this build chocks away Jase “Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.”
