Lots of really nice looking drawings so far.
Erik_T's Turbo-Tigercat should really be in the what-if thread but it's an interesting concept.

Oh, my bad. Didn't know there was one, which shows how much of an interloper I am in the FD section.

Relocated.

The Short Kent is a magnificent addition, topping all the previously jet liners and other aircraft.
A real treat, this thread turned to.

Thanks, will try to get some more neglected boats up soon.
Do you guys also find that a lot of 3-views and plan views are quite badly out of true when compared to photos?

Very well drawn Kent, Sheepster! May I ask if you know what is the vane after the empenage? Cheers and thanks.

It's the rudder trimmer. The landplane model (Scylla) originally kept the vane, but was developed into the (these days) standard trim tab in the tail. I'll try and get the Scylla up this weekend.

I think the rudder trimmer is what is known as a 'Flettner tab', as developed by Anton Flettner.
