Nicely done!

And a sensible repositioning of the engines.  Yeah, the thrust line is asymmetric in that they're now both above the centerline of the aircraft.  Plenty of other birds fly that way without issue.  And this setup avoids the FOD issues that the original seemed tailor made for.

Cries for hardware! Even though the entry hatch is a bit small? Maybe it's "Hobbit Airlines"?

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

 The more I look at that the more I find myself ticking off the kits I would need to bash that! I think I would add a fin at the rear, rounded off of course, just because.

I think a DH88 comet would be a good donor?

I was thinking of a 1930s car to make the "engines" at the wing tips from. Cut the front fenders off and glue them together with the one head light in the front. It would take two kits to do it. Definitely need to wait for a sale some where.

30's cars tend to not have the lights in the mudguards.  You'd want a late 40's or 50's car.
This is good as there is more choice.

I'm sure you are right. I'll know the car I want when I see it.

There's some SERIOUS mixing and matching going on there!  :o

I'd hate to try and build most of them in plastic, I'd need about a TON of putty to meld the bits together!
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! :)

As drawings of new silhouettes, they are very wonderful, thanks a lot! :wub: :wub:

Several of those would look realistic. I bet they would fool many members of the public.

I particularly like the Lightvampire.
Looks almost doable :drink:

The British have raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved". Soon though, security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or even "A Bit Cross". Londoners have not been "A Bit Cross" since the Blitz in 1940 when tea supplies ran out for three weeks

I was just thinking that: there was a Miles proposal for a twin-boom, long-range naval patrol fighter with a jet in the back of the nacelle and a piston engine in the front. You could do the Lightvampire and claim that it's twin pistons instead, or that it was originally all-piston and this is a late version designed to boost performance.

You could probably do the same with a Flitzer and a Fw-189 and pass it off as genuine Luft '46.... :wacko:

On another tack, that Starfightwulf looks like a good basis for a sci-fi space fighter.
