Looking for some 1/144 TF-33 engines used by the Boeing 707 family and B-52 to replace the engines on my B-47, to make an upgraded bomber, probably Vietnam era.

Thanks, kitnut! I saw their eBay page, and it seems effing expensive, but they seem to be a small time conversion kit operator, so I sympathize, resin ain't cheap, not do I like meddling with it. But if anyone can 3D print them, I just need the engines not the mounts :)

I've got a set of TF-33s off of a C-141, would those do?

3D printed engines would be as expensive as that resin set, btw. Cheaper to find an Airfix 707 and rob it of its engines.

Those (C-141 engines) would be perfect!

But the Airfix 707 has Conways, because it's a BA aircraft.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)
