The origin of this project is a Junk article I found in ebay. It is a Revell (USA) model from '60s. It was defective (no windscreen) quite bad built and glued but very firmly painted, a lot of sanding to remove paint :unsure:

I would appreciate if you find any practicality to this two engines Jaguar E. As you can guess, rear engine drives a propeller.

Propeller?
It is a boat? It is a hovercraft? It is an aeroplane?

I hope it's got some uprated rear springs, LOTS of them!  :o

And what type is the extra engine anyway?
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! :)

Going to need some thrust bearings between that trany and the prop!

Looks cool!

Just put air ride suspension in it ..the air bags will handle the weight of that engine.
That engine kinda looks like North star V8 or a Toyota V8 ..either way ..alloy block and heads  :thumbsup:
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

Interesting...

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

This reminds me that I passed a lovely British Racing Green E-Type Jag yesterday, on the way to work. Beautiful looking & sounding car! :wub:
