I only intended to point out that the removeable tank cover is much bigger than the Orion version shown on the original TF plan, that the Taurus has not got one, and that the side view is much closer to a Taurus than an Orion, the Orion fuselage being deeper at the trailing edge of the wing than at the leading edge, the Taurus and this model is the other way round. The tail (fin) profile is much closer to Taurus than Orion, and the fuselage, minus the turtle deck, is then much closer to a Taurus. I still think that it is , if not modified from a kit, then at least uses the Taurus as its design inspiration, rather than an Orion. I doubt which way the angle the fuselage doubler is has much bearing. I am pleased that Chino enjoys the thing, given that it has lasted this long it will likely last much longer in his good care. I do agree with Cees though, in that these models are made to be flown, and enjoyed. I do not have any model in my stable that is as much fun as these two (Orion and Taurus), though Nimbus comes close. Enjoy.
