Nothing unfortunately. But she's a real beauty.

Second that. Probably even a scale-mash-up, with a 1:72 CF-100 and 1:48 Horten wings? Very cool idea!

Except it isn't.  It's a PM Horten 229B two seat nightfighter.

Okay, had me fooled. And I guess that's what a good whiff should do!  ;D

Beautifully finished SAAF Hurricane with Hercules engine:

I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Nice - the widened section between fuselage and engine has also been solved nicely.

Czech Omega did a 72nd resin one, as well as the Griffon version.  I have one somewhere.

Nice ! The shape of the nacelles is kinda funny, but it sure looks like a good representation of what a prototype a/c would look like. Love the finish as well. Nice find for sure !

I reckon the nacelle shape is because they used the tops of something like plastic bottles to achieve the change in cross section from original nacelles to new fronts.
Good bit of scratching. Looks sweet.

- 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.

That Whirlwind is interesting. I'm thinking give it a nose wheel undercarriage and make her a FAA Torpedo/Strike aircraft

Second that, looks very nice - reminds me of the Chinese Tu-4 turboprop conversions that also have a similar "plug" installation to bridge the different engine diameters:



Why not?

I agree, odd looking, but not unknown for turboprop conversions as Dizzy has shown.  I can think of two others off the top of my head, the B-17 turbo fire bomber and the Cavalier Turbo Mustang.
