Jim James' "Sky Captain" Manta Fighter - 2

 

Here's my finished Manta Fighter. Problem with the Manta was that the landing gear was too short - the props wouldn't have turned.  Built new landing gear but I swear there must have been some landing gear secret we were not told about (they extended when the engines started?).  Otherwise built OOB.
