Get Moving Tubby?

I know, 20:00 my time (later for beefcake), but gets us extra time at the end (if deadline is 9:00 GMT).

So brakes are off...

Hull structure done

Wheels cut:

Wheels assembled:

and affixed:

Tracks are going to be a particular pain as they are tiny... and the turret is a mess of angles too...

Then onto wings

A pleasingly mad project, looking good so far - considered making it an R/C aircraft (just think of the confused looks you'll get)?

Just for scale:

Riveting stuff!

Pondering the built up wings... and I've a backup plan.
Built up wings are a pain to get right... so I might revert to foam and hotwire!
