"Thunderchick" sounds better...

Or possibly...

it has a tail!

The unattached wing is done, so on to the other engine! Getting there...

No one will be chasing her tail with the rear facing gun emplacement.

As long as this doesn't happen

And so, it begins... again!:

Go, go graven!

Wait, I'm confused, are you doing a second one or starting from scratch?

Ha! I see the source of your confusion. Nah, just construction of wing 2:

Thanks for being my cheer team gits This one is coming together much faster, perhaps unsurprisingly, as it's a lot less trial and error. Also I've not added the intake yet, so can manipulate from within the engine body. Wondering whether to add aerialons to the sides of the tail body?
In other news, I think I've found the other exorcist pod, so that will progress anon. Also, been playing Mansions of Madness, so might paint up some mythos badness for variety (although ANY painting would be a change )

So are you thinking a vertical aerial from the top of the body and fine wire or thread to each tail fin aerial?
A bit like WW2 planes had?
Btw I am in awe of what you have achjeved with your flier, it looks amazing

Thanks mate. I was thinking the little triple aerials from the nephilim either side of the tail at the vents or a long thin one along the top running to the back (previously I had had that on the underbelly).

Thank God , I thought it was a great model being binned. Glad. Was just tired and not seeing the full picture.

It's always easier with repetition. Things like my sternguard, vanguard, open vehicle hatches just get easier and more natural as time goes on.

So I just realised I mounted the wing extension 1cm too far back.
Serves me right...

A query, to my adoring fans. What should I do for the base on this one?

Fender Stratocaster.

Base, not Bass
Also:

nearly there...

Are the wings attached at that angle? It seems a little too bent for me, but it's up to you.

Good job though.

For the base any sort of church type steeple I think would be good, like she's coming in close for support .

I think Gits is correct. The base should be a cherry Fender Stratocaster six string in miniature.

with flames

Not a left-handed Rickenbacker 4001 with azureglo finish and a pullcord motor?

I have visions of this now flying over a Goff Rock Band as an inflatable.

Now there is an idea!

As well as filling, I've added side aerialons:

Yay/nay?

Um, what are "side aerialons"?

I think it was meant to be aerials on.

^ That's the one. Group of 3 little aerials. still going to do the long ww2 style back one.

Yay!!!

With Gits and Solar talking about fender Stratocasters and such like I was looking at the cannon on the front and it was kinda reminding me of those spotlights they have at concerts with the different colour glass on the front or the old old school tv cameras.

So for my wacky suggestion, I say ork rock concert below with different colour mini explosions on the grounds as if the light from the "spots" is hitting the ground and a small bouncy castle full of grots!!!

Slightly more rational suggestion, a burning renegade vehicle with bodies hanging out the hatch and cultists running out the back of it getting cut down in a hail of lead from the cannon on the front of the avenger... maybe pose 1 like Sgt Elias rom Platoon

Ah, that's what you meant! Yes, I like them. I thought it was some kind of fancy aeronautical terminology that a simple biologist like myself couldn't possibly understand.

Well I seriously thought about it then I saw the price of Goff rockers on eBay and thought
I have a chimera I can probably justify trashing
