I wish it was more detailed but I am not that good at simple planes yet. NOTE: the landing gear is not accurate, i could not model the wing landing gear right. The bristol brabazon was designed by the british during the war as a large aircraft for post-war civilian needs. The structure was not built strong enough, due to the designers trying to increase the maximum range. They detetced crakcs in the skin and frame during the flight test. Its problems and increasing costs saw the project shut down in 1952.

    Yah I did that when I was designing it but I could never get them just right st the end. You could always see stuff poking through. I'm experimenting with more planes with that technique tho @jamesPLANESii

    A technique that I use is putting fusalarge blocks on the wings so they look thicker.
