Great job Paul!! Amazing how low those fuel tanks were to the ground!!

[PaulN]

Thanks guys

Jon , they do look close , but they had to be nose down , if they were level they would scrape the runway on rotation

Cheers all

Good morning Paul
Superb quality,I really like your additional photo (adds a bit of background history to the particular build ) ,I always look forward to seeing your masterpieces a million times better than what I can manage I have managed to finish a B-2 model (wings where rather fragile which is what took time (I have named her Spirit of Fairford ) finished a few years ago (I will just say i’m pleased with how it’s turned out in the end though ,although it’s in the semi airborne position all the time now as the front nose wheel broke or is fiddlely one of the two but don’t have the hand skills but willing to try a more easier build ,I feel you could recommend one that would be greatly appreciated (via pm please )
All the best
