The main painting is now finished, so it is time to start the fiddly stuff.
markings and windows and there are a lot of windows. eep.

Still i can only work at my usual slow pace, it will be finished one day.

so a vc10 at the same scale as the hs trident would have a 70" span.

hmmmmmmm.

that would mean removable wings and retracts and weight and complications.

maybe 35th scale as that would give me a wingspan of 50" only very slightly larger than the trident.

fixed wing,twin pusher props, no retracts, hand launch, lighter and less complicated.

more hmmmmm
