saunders-roe duchess progress

My model of the most elegant aircraft in the world (*) has been making progress, with the fuselage and tail framing complete.  The next task is to make the wings, which will of course require me to decide whether this is to be a 4-motor or 2-motor model and actually to buy the hardware.  I think 4 motors. So much more in keeping with the original project. More information at http://sopwithmike.mudefordsc.org/index.html

* Not quite true, as the DH Albatross is without doubt the most elegant aircraft ever designed and a perfect opportunity for an electric scale modeller. I seem to remember one in the magazines at the very start of the electric era—Ed (A Dave Chinnery model, I think)
