Hi Guys

Brian you need to sort out the nose as it looks odd to me :redface:

Sorry :worried:

Looks good in shots otherwise but nose looks a bit too rounded an bulbous to me.

Regards
Rick (fussy git) :doh:

HI Brian

Point taken.

is the nose different on the 125 ?.

& does the Dominie not have the bubble roof like the 125 & Viscount have ?.

I can't put my finger on whats missing, looks great anyway
& great photo there :wink:

Regards
Rick

That looks like a different nose cone to the 125 and even the Dominie in it's earliest form.......could have been changed given the long use it has had. :dunno:

Hard to tell just from pics especially that livery as it is a shape distorting livery.

Rick,

Yes the canopy are is of the same type as the Viscount not so pronounced though. Not too sure but I think the nose on the Dom is an 'adjustment' for the radar used in the various training programs.

I agree Garry, and this rather confirms it

Much more slope down from the screen to the nose whereas the "new" Dominie is flat.
