That's it Lou.

Looks strange but had some interesting features . A heavy armament for one.

I am going to do it with U/C down. The Nose leg looks like a challenge.

Cheers

I'm re doing the engines.

Trimmed down a piece of 19mm balsa dowel with a sharpened 15mm Ali tube and glueed that to the rest of the nacelle . Seems to work. More required.

I've made up the front wheel from balsa and have made up the rear wheels from a piece of 1/16 basswood cut out with a sharpened brass tube. Tyres are siutable sized "o" rings.

Have shaped some sytrene plastic for the rear doors.

Cheers

That has got to be the most unconventional aircraft I've seen so far. The stabilizer was essentially the gear legs for the wheels mounted under the twin fins. Forgive me here, but I would think take off would be a bit scary. Once the tail comes off the ground, you would have a wheel barrow!.....with 1000 hp on either side.
I do look forward to seeing the completed model..

Thanks

 Tailplane attached . Undercarriage wheels in the fins made but not attached. Propellers done. More work required on Engines.
Then work out the mechanics of the front main wheel.

Rear undercarriage wheels glued to fins. Engines cleaned up a bit. Nose cleaned up . I was going to do it clear but changed my mind.

Wings and engines are not attached at this stage . I have to wave it around a bit when I come to cut out recess for Main wheel.

Main undercarriage leg from plastic sheet, Sprue and brass rod.

That's it for a week or so . Got some work on.

Cheers

Where the SE 100 is at.

Main U/c done but not attached. Glazing done. Engines won't be attached until I stop waving it around.
Various framing to be applied.

Attempted to do white decal circles underneath wing roundels but found they wouldn't separate from the carrier.

Will reattempt this.

Cheers

That is a cool looking model. You did a great job with that rather strange nose gear! The designers sure had a out-of-the-box mind on this craft.
