I remember this plane from my childhood and I couldn't wait to model it, but I didn't have the skill to do it justice. This Build represents a month of study and practice and 15-20 hours of actual build time, It is also the first plane I've built with my own modded components. It was fun to see it come together and I learned a ton. I hope you enjoy it.
I found 50 lbs ballast hiding in the right engine boom, pull it out for a straight take off on land.

Thanks @bobthetitan123 that's one area I'd like to improve a bit. Placing those detail parts can be frustrating!
Thanks @Cedy117 I'd say you do just fine without mods. Most of the studying I was talking about included dissecting your planes!
This is amazing! I love the cockpit!
I got to say this is epic nice job I wish I can mod darn Apple lol
Thank you very much! @TheLatenImage
