Default RE: Redesign and reconstruction of the Oldest Taurus on Earth

I did use the plans that are visible on "uncle willie’s plans, page 22", typical Dutch and cheap!
Just as some others did with the Taurus in 2004, I did build the Orion bigger, heavier and with retracts, so I did have to redesign the Orion completely and didn't need the details anyway.

Quite honestly then, in my eyes (anyways), Your "redesigned" Orion really isn't an Orion. It has far too many modifications, inverted engine, reshaped nose, etc. But mostly the addition of retracts really ruins the looks of such a classic model and takes it out of the "classic" category. Not trying to start anything, just my opinion.
