Quote from: Rheged on April 22, 2025, 03:33:21 PMI've put this forward as a Whiffie contender.   It's unusual as a Kit-built aircraft WITHOUT longer wings!

I'm very grateful, thanks so much. 

Keeping the same length wings was really an essential as the Dalgety was so closely allied to the Canberra. I must admit I did think of extending them, but thought better of it, just for once. 

I said something about the old Revell kit and contra props. Now I have to find some. Either Spitfire or an MB-5 unless someone knows of something useable and not too expensive.

Aside from 3-d printing, all I can think of is cobbling something up from individual blades; which is likely the way I'll go. 
We need a company like Aeroclub again - their stuff was good and cheap, and I still regret not ordering as much as I would have liked to.

A round of applause from me as well. I think that is terrific

I think Airfix might have something useful in the Spitfire collection.
I agree with you about Aeroclub.

The Plasticart 1/100 Tu-20 will give you many contra props. 

        Very nice!!

Looking sweet Kit 😍

I've got a 48th B-57 ..I think it's Revell and ya know still have zero ideas for it 🤔
It's one of those planes where any ideas I think off have already done and any ideas I think off some body else is already building it ...your build is one I hadn't thought off but still I've always wanted one so swings and roundabouts 

Ye-ah, that's good! Very good, Kit!    

  

Come out well Kit

Thanks Phil, & everyone else too.

As for the B-57, how about 'Canucking' it, keep the J-57 engines but clamp them right up against the fuselage, like a Tu-16 or a CF-100?

There's a reason I love your brain Kit 😆 🤣
That's an idea I'd never have thought about..and it would also make the wings look longer without possibility making them longer 🤔 😉
That's the money right there mate 👌
Thank you my good Sir for that ..that's what's going to happen now ..now to see if I've got old style Canadian decals ..got the new gray type ..I'll have to take a looksie 

That looks veery good and even plausible - well done. Kit!

That's really pretty
