If you're not on FB, you might have missed one of my projects, that of finishing a partially built T-34 Mentor, 1/5th Top Flite kit, for Marc. We discussed some options, and for several reasons went with the plan of converting the stock T-34 into a T-34 C, Turbo Mentor. It's about 2 hours away from being 100% done, and ready to go to it's new home!

Biggest changes are the rudder shape, two large belly strakes on the aft fuselage, smaller fuselage strakes along the fuse lining up with the horizontal stab, and the cowl. Mods included extending the nose some 2/12 inches. This was not only required for the Turbo Mentor profile, but it also allowed an inverted engine installation, ahead of the nose gear.
