The improved version of 42065 b model .

[MacKaiwer]

Excellent work! I like very much the looks of it and functions are really nice indeed  Especially I like that it's all mechanic with no electricity or motors  And size of it, just perfect, not a little toy, well done

This looks great, and has excellent (and realistic) controls. Great work!

Looks realistic, you've put quite some effort in getting it as it is right?

Nice to see another plane. A lot of cool functions

The shaping is a bit squarish though. Especially the rear part doesn't really taper upwards to the end like the real Gulfstream. Also the wheels look on the small side.

But other than that, a pretty impressive model

Thank you! This one was inspired mostly by the 42066 b model, which was a great concept but lacked most of the possible functionality. In the end, most of the time went into building it up, not liking it, then ripping it apart and starting again. I remade the wings at least 5 times

Thanks so much! I certainly agree with your comment about the shaping, my main focus was not to make it too tall. Because of the way things turned out, the rear was built pretty badly, and there was nothing I could do about that, as I ran out of red pieces (!). I think the use of more 3x11 curved panels would have solved the squaring issues, especially in the front, but the door would have looked misshapen. Good thing to know for the next time I'll build a plane (soon!)
