Hawker Sea Tornado

I do like this.

Thanks to all, I apreciate your words really.

Very nicely done, I think you've managed the griffon installation very well.

Below is the real project which didn't get off the drawing board.  Funny enough, I think the Griffon put into a Hurricane was less of a problem than attaching one to the Spitfire

Really had a problem of overheating, but the cause was the position of the radiator . I put it in the wings. I believe the change more important is that wing of laminar flow.

Thanks again.

I don't believe Sidney Camm ever used a 'laminar' wing on any of his aircraft he was involved with, that includes the Sea Hawk. At least I've not seen any mention of a laminar wing with any of his designs

Well, It's an old discussion. All the engineers in that time are not really sure "what is" a laminar flow. They only experiment with profiles. The change of the Typhoon wing to the Tempest wing, go to this finality, the laminar flow. All the thing start with the first step, and the wing of the Hawker Seafury is really a laminar flow wing in compared with the original hurricane's wing. The "laminar flow" is a concept not a wing, for all, there are wings with better laminar flow than others. Sorry for my poor english language. I hope you understand me.

Below is the real project

Once more, Pablo makes more beautiful than 'Real'...

Thanks Tophe,

That's some good kit, right there!

Thanks JHM, I like yours models too. Really I appreciate your words.

Sorry I missed this gem until now. I had thought the "Sea Tornado" in the title was a jet (not that I HATE jets, but anything after about 1953 just doesn't interest me---sorry).

You may know already, Pablo, that Hawker made a "Tornado" before they made its almost identical "Typhoon". The Typhoon had the Napier-Sabre 24-cylinder engine with a single row of exhausts on each side. The Tornado had the RR Vulture 24-cylinder engine that proved troublesome (at least in the Manchester bomber) that had TWO rows of exhausts on each side. I loved that two-row exhaust look, and will incorporate that into my current project, the Hawker Henley. I had wanted to, however, make a "Tornado" fighter that went to sea, and I was going to call it the "Waterspout" instead of a "Sea Tornado", as a waterspout *IS* a tornado at sea.

You can be rightfully proud of this mash-up "Hurricane at sea". I really like it.

Thanks for your words, really I appreciate your comment.
Yes I know the original Tornado, and the problem with his engine. One of the problem even the Tempest, was the RAF did't want the innovation of the radiator in the front border of the wing, whose cause I don't know even today.
I use this name because I don't find other is my Poor english lenguage.

Beautiful airplane design
