Yep, it's an R/C aircraft. Heh. With you guys, I'm going to have to resort to posting pictures of the hydraulics in a small corner of a landing gear bay to give you any challenge at all...

Oh, and JTG, take a look - there *is* a hint of the geodetic structure in there. But mostly not, as you observed.

Perhaps not *quite* as obvious as this one...

And for those who'd like to see a Fleet Air Arm paint scheme...

I like this better....but, sadly, it does remind me of this.

Aha! I see I mixed up CC paint schemes with US Navy schemes. I'm not sure the geodetic framework is all that clear in medium to far shot; most of the photos I've seen (where it's apparent) are fairly close-in, and/or show the clear panels on the fuselage over the wings. At least I'm assuming they're clear panels; I've seen them in quite a few shots, and I can't imagine the RAF leaving great big holes in the side of the bomber... :) It is a very nice model. Reminds me of that turbine-engined RC B-52 which crashed a while back. You see that thing airborne in a film clip and it's quite convincing.
