A nose cone and tail one for any upcoming large scale 4 build.

Any guesses?

Close, but not quite yet. This is much cooler. And civilian as well. 

Orenda Jet Engines testbed.  This is how the Orenda engines for the Canadian Sabres and CF-100s were flight tested

Notice the Mk.X fuselage doublers below where the Martin turret used to be.

Never heard of that bird, but can't wait to see you doing some big plane magic again.

Cheers Rob

That will be pretty awesome Ernie. The polished NMF looks great on a Lanc. 

Plus you'll be on the way towards a 1/32 Clunk.

Interesting stuff!

Ernie  - I love your approach to finding topics that are *really* interesting, unusual and challenging.  I particularly like that you are looking into civilian applications - much respect on that!

I have some wartime stories that I still need to tell, but once I get through those, I will look at your work as inspiration

Next should be a B-47 flying Iroquois testbed, in 1/32 of course

Well, YES! But I was thinking if HPH brings out their 1/48 version, it might be perfect.
