Finished now. All the little aerials have been added. Pics in Gallery here’s a teaser

Its a tail sitter despite the nose being rammed full of weights, hence the tack under the nose wheel. Top aerial has a bit of paintbrush added on purpose to make it look more like the real thing.

Nice result!

It seems the Toucan, like the Canberra, is almost impossible to weight down enough to avoid a tail-sitter :(

That's a great result H and looks even better in the Welsh sunshine. Well done buddy.

Thanks buddy. Last time I took a picture in the Welsh sunshine, the beast from the east arrived the next day:giggle:

I thought you wanted a “snow day” for your birthday present.

Turned out great!!

I also like the additional pics in the gallery!

:thumbsup:

 

Building a resin model myself currently, I am not sure if you can do a lot to combat tailsitters.... trying to make holes in the rear parts joints, but just how effective this is remains to be seen......
