The fuselage and wings are covered in over 800,000 rivets,

 

That should keep the rivet counters quiet for a month or two...

I think the rc's got told to stuff it early on in the whine-fest , the zenith was when the statement ; "It doesn't look like a B17" was uttered, that was enough for me.

These are stellar kits , we are lucky to have them.

The 1/200 Trumpeter ships are actually longer than the wingspan of this model, BUT they take up no where near as much real estate as this beauty.  :)

" connector rods "

 

 

Woohoo, I get to correct @Mike! Them there is pushrods fer the valves* geezer, yer connecting rods connect yer pistons to yer crankshaft... look it me maw, I is a rivet counter now!

 

*More specifically for the rocker arms that moved the valves if you cared, which you don't because you hate me...and not just because I'm paranoid😓

 

PS, I've stayed in hotel rooms smaller than this thing.
