@RAAF when I finish it I am
Working on a Vickers Wellesley GR MK. IV I will post it that has big wings
@RAAF I can take a crack at it
Yeah I bet with those wings so far forward
@BlackhattAircraft its a cool plane
@Mustang51 Thx I saw it and wanted to build it the hard part was getting it balanced to fly correctly
Nice build! I’m a huge fan of this plane. It has such an odd design but looks very cool
This is one of my favorite planes irl!
