Project Blue Flash - the RAF's 'Streak Lightning'

[The Wooksta!]

Hmm, nice enough build but...

Gyron?  Given the amount of fuel designed into Lightning, I'd assume it'd be on critical warning as soon as the wheels lifted off.  The intake underneath is too similar to that on the P.1121, and Gyron *REALLY* disliked that, to the point that Hawker were going to use Olympus instead as it was that problematic.

It's fat enough to carry another gallon or two compared to the original design, methinks. And regardless, it's really cool!

Thanks for the kind comments, folks. I'm glad I persevered and finished it.

I love the concept of PSR-merging!

Brilliant use of various and diverse parts, and a really cool result!

A perfect hack and slash build 👌

Very ,very cool, even if I have to agree with the Wooksta about the range. I would never have expected to see "a longer-range" associated with the Lightning...

[McColm]

Well done

There's another issue - weight. The engine is where the wings spars go through the fuselage, so it would have to have circular frames around the engine strong enough to carry the wings and these will add weight. Hawker ran into the same issue with P.1121.

Belated congratulations for this weird and impressive model!

[Zero-Sen]

I am pleasantly surprised by your build. Thank you!

[Devilfish]

That is just brilliant!!
