Expand Reminds me I need to saw the other nose half to confirm the resin nose cone cross section fits correctly. If it does, I'll bring the nose and tailcones to 'Nooga for you. Have you put any thoughts into whether or not you'll do anything to show the rear passenger area (clear fuselage, door open, etc), or do you expect you'll keep it simple and build it closed up? Mate, this MR10 is simply stunning, even in the unfinished state. It's pretty scary how much larger the plane suddenly becomes when you attach a wing, isn't it? I only just found that out when I was taking that Orenda test frame photo the other day. 2

For the very first time ever, I was stunned by the size of a model. I knew the B-36 would be big, and the Felix is large, but the Lanc is just plain and simply put, MASSIVE. 1
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted July 25, 2019 Author Administrators Posted July 25, 2019 I'm kicking myself over eliminating what turned out to be the fresh air vents in the wing roots. I need to reinstate them as well... 2
Martinnfb Posted July 25, 2019 Posted July 25, 2019 Perhaps this build will motivate HKM to produce postwar version as well. 2

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the Mk.ll used an exhaust similar to the Beau? As in the porcupine style and mounted lower on the nacelles. To me, those shrouds are definitely shrouds for an inline V-12. 4

Administrators Clunkmeister Posted July 26, 2019 Author Administrators Posted July 26, 2019 OUCH! It looks like nothing other than a bit of a head bumper and ego bruiser, as long as you weren't sitting behind the spar. On second thought, they look like they ran it into some rocks. I hope the pilot pulled little feeties up. 4
