Hello,

I don't wish to be critical,but,The engines look too big and too round,also the tail fin seems too large in some of the shots,although that could be the angle it was taken from.

Again no offence,but those two thing's stand out having watched them take off land daily whilst stationed at waddo.

Best wishes,

Pete.

made new engines, but we think the tail is about right

It looks very nice,as i said the tail may have been due to the angle of the screenshot,if you look at shot 2&4 of your latest pics the radome appears very large but looks spot on in the others.

This aircraft has a special meaning to me so sorry if i sounded rude,i will definatly be taking her up for a flight when she is released.

nice work, the fuselage seems more blended with the nose and tail now also :thumbsup:

I think as these were work-in-progress shots, joins in the model parts and similar things (note - I didn't say defects) are going to show. I think it's interesting to watch a model change and develop as it goes through from inception into it's final production.

Thanks for sharing guys

Excellent, it’ll be great to have a Sentry for FS as they’re based closed to home. It’ll go great with UKMIL’s other Waddington resident the Nimrod R1 (just the Sentinel left :wink: ).

Sometimes see the Sentry over flying the house whilst in the Waddington Circuit although not a much as I used to. I guess they don’t use the circuit over Lincoln as much to avoid noise complaints. Although that said, for its size it’s really not a noisy aircraft.
