Westland Wyvern

[kitnut617]

I have these photos of Wyverns with different tanks, one is a 230 Gal. centerline tank in place of the torpedo and the other looks to me like either Hunter or Sea Vixen tanks to me.

Edit: or they could be the same tanks

I was just going to suggest the R-4360 Jon, you beat me to it.  I would get the turbo-compound version of the engine like a Connie, and use the already in place exhaust nozzles.  I got these a short while ago made by HaHen (Harold Hensel out of Germany) they're in 1/72

Just one thing,
the Connie, Super-Connie and Starliner all used various versions of the Wright Double Cyclone and Turbo-Cyclone (R-3350/C-18/TC-18).
The R-4360 was not used on the Connie.

I had made in inquiry on BritModeller a month or so ago about wing tip mounted fuel tanks and was recently rewarded with an eMail containing the attached image of a Wyvern in flight with tanks affixed to the wing tips.

Thanks chaps.  The things that pop into one's mind whilst walking the dog... .  BTW, I figure there would be at least 4 20 or 30 mm cannon under the nose.

Four ADENs sounds good.  Maybe lengthen the tail a bit, to compensate for all that extra weight up front?

[GTX]

Already done, though I do think it still needs more.

Mmm, two engines and four cannons all up front. Be a bit nose heavy.  Any way to shorten the noses on the nacelles and bring them back more over the wing?

I'm now looking forward to your four engines Gannet, mate!

It must be the heat out there in Oz at this time of year.
That is pure insanity.

I LIKE IT !
