I'm not that happy with the 707 mold. The pylons are too big and `saggy' and something about the nose.....

By the way....
One relatively unobtrusive way of preventing tail standing is to glue a stiff clear toothbrush bristle rearwards from underneath one of the main landing gear and then trim most of it off when dry. You may have to experiment how much to trim.
When finished, this will prevent the gear from rotating/tipping back and its hard to see the bristle (or it looks like a wheel `chock' rope!).
