That is absolutely stunning, she looks so right! Congrats on a brilliant build!

Makes me wonder about an RAF Tigercat with Centaurus engines...?
If anyone can build it it's you, DF! I'd personally go with four-blade props a-la Tempest Mk.II.

If I'd had a pair I would have gone down that route!

The XF7F had spinners which gave it a bit of a Centaurus look.  ;)

It'd need a whole slew of oil leaks underneath to do that properly................
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! :)

If it was license-built by Fairey, maybe it might have had Bristol Centaurus engines?

It does look good!

Didn't RAF de Havilland Hornets go to Malaysia in pretty light colours?

Shhhh!  Don't spoil a perfectly good back story..... :rolleyes:

The back story is great.


..... but why does everybody want to put a different RADIAL engine on it? What is wrong with a Griffon?

Interesting idea, but a lot more work (blending it in, Cg etc)
