the way I visualise this is another smaller wing above this one with a huge jet engine in it and maybe a cockpit in that wing or the big one you see here as i dont think in real life it would be possible to have the wing detatch from the tank and have all the control cables detatchable as well also I cant see how you would pilot the tank from within it. Oh I forgot and 2 massive fuel tanks either between the 2 sets of wings or hung under the big wing.

Wow! These wood wings are a beauty.

I think the tank and the waethering you have add is fantastic. Great build, I love it believe me!

lov the grain in these wing ,

I think that will work well 1 or 2 jet engines above with a little cockpit,

Thanks for the kind comments Monica and polux won't get much more done in the next few days as it's my father inlaws 80th birthday at the weekend so will be driving up to Scotland early sat morning and back late sun night.

Looks great Ken,the pastels worked just fine. I really like the interior detail of the turret as well!

This is looking superb Ken, lovely work on the wings and the weathering on the tank looks great.

thanks all for the kind comments I am a bit disappointed that right when things are getting interesting I have to call a halt on it, still it will be nice to see the father in law again, he's a really nice chap, and its only for the weekend.

Looks okay to me Ken, it maybe a fantasy-type-piece but still it has to look like it may work, and in that effect...I think you have.
