I thought the same for a while Nick ...it was around the nose, But the more i flew it and looked at it , I think its pretty much ok.
Its something we havent seen for a long time in real life and in a sim , that could be part of it.

Looks pretty good to me and my window overlooked the SAFE depot at Wellington. As Donny T would say it has a nice pair of Bristols (Hercules)!

Coming back this morning with a fresh pair of eyes, I think you're right. For a while the fuselage looked a bit too short. A interesting side note, a couple of the Safe Bristols ended up in Canada seeing out their days doing what they were designed to do. Henry Tenby did have DVDs of the last of them operating for TPA and Hawkair. Check them out here Out of stock for the moment but when they come around again, they're well worth having.
