Wow....loads of good stuff in there ! A little too far fetched for most of us 'almost real-world' types, but some neat ideas regardless !

Hmm - a four-engined Buccaneer. You could probably do that with two of the old Matchbox kits, since they had the engine nacelles moulded separately.

Great drawings.  Distorted and cartoonised but retaining enough of the inspiration to enable it to be identified.

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

I haven't even considered what the Sky Pirates would use in the jet age* but Buccaneer has a fitting name at least.

*other than Rotodynes obviously

Maybe not, but the Indians ARE getting some T50's as they're a build partner with Sukhoi

Needs a couple more guns!
I have no idea where a person would start to try and build that! Other than carving foam.

Well I always tend to regard them a a starting point rather than a blueprint. Shape-wise, it's pretty much a confection of WWII components, possibly with some scaleorama involved. The long part of the canopy looks like a Grumman Avenger one but back-to-front.

Those endplate fins with the semi-circular leading edges remind me of something but I can't put my finger on it and it's bugging me......

It's like a B-24 fin without the rudder.
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! :)
