Nice one Phil, can we have a photo from above as well to see the forward swept wings. Like Russell I would like to know who's kit it is? Thanks for posting.

It is scratch-built utilizing a Combat models Vac Form HE-177 fuselage,parts from an AR-234 and the wings are laminated from 2 sheets of .80 styrene and carved to shape.I carved wooden masters for the wheel spats and resin cast copies.I had to add 2 .59 caliber muzzle loading bullets to the nose and it still wasn't enough! So I had to drill a hole in the Rato rockets and fill them with birdshot.It was a very involved project!
