The upper body section is definitely cartoon scale and in the Electric Flight International articles from 1999 Chris Golds makes no bones about this. I will not be aiming for real true scale because I do not want to compromise what is a well proven flying platform, so the majority of the build will be as per plan, just the upper surface being changed. One of the things I want to do with the build is to make the top section more scale like, with smaller engine housings both in height and width.
