Chino,
My post takes some time, and is no problem, we have.
I will have some more data in the future.
There still was a post 10 of page 1 of the past wihch asks some response I think.

Unlike Cees, I too think that you have done a nice job of a modified, stock Taurus. The fin/rudder outline has only been slightly tweaked, but it is Taurus, the internal structure, what can be seen, is certainly Taurus, diagonal doubler sheet and thick triplers. The removeable tank cover is a personal mod, certainly no standard Orion or Taurus shows it. A good idea, but it might lead to a slightly less stiff front end. Bolt on wing was a common mod, even back in the day. I like the wing fairings too, again you could only fit them with a bolt on wing. Should be a nice, fun model. Could you update later on weights and flight report?

Of course Chino did do a nice job did I write something else? But Orion or Taurus was his question!
I always observe objects related to most original data. So also of the Orion.
There is a good reference for that and that is the MAN article of Ed Kazmirski.
When we look at the drawing of that we see the hatch and two dowels on the back side to lock with the fuselage top. In front we see the blind nut and screw.
Just as the Taurus also the Orion does have the diagonal doublers of course, only the direction is different. The doublers of the Tauri do also have the direction of the Orion.
.
The
grain that is visible of the doublers of Chino's do have the same direction as the
Orion and Tauri.
In all pictures doublers are accentuated by green dashes and an oval for the Tauri.
Only to refute already the facts that were brought in post 10 of page 1.
More to conclude in the near future.
Cees
