Also the XF-5U is growing. Unfortunately I missed to take pictures of current status with primed interior. The hardest thing is to open the cowler flaps. You need to remove a lot of material carefully. And it needs more details....

Yes! A wonderful addition to the beastiary! An exotic design with many advantages in flight. I too was impressed with the surgeries ie modification work being done by you! You are a combination of a “cockpit first” and “engine first” with these 1:72 models. The wiring additions are beautiful and a considerable challenge. I stand in considerable awe actually of what you are doing at the scale!

Beautiful work Marius! Nicely done.

I got to watch one of those pancake planes fly at Chino one year. What an interesting bird in the air!

Thanks again Bruce. And Duke it must have been extraordinary.
Currently I still work on the cowler flaps - a pain in the neck.

It was indeed! Even watching it fly, I was equally stunned at how well that little bird maneuvered and how odd it looked in the air overall.
