TOTALLY awesome!  :thumbsup:
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! :)

Cats are not real. 
They are just physical manifestations of collisions between enigma & conundrum particles.

Any aircraft can be improved by giving it a SHARKMOUTH!

Now that's an aircraft that suits the jet conversion.  Maybe not 4, 2 would have been enough, and I'd have stuck to wheels, but as it's a floatplane racer, maybe the trhust of 4 early jets is needed to get it off the water.   :thumbsup:

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

Superb! That has to be the cleanest and most believable prop to jet conversion I've seen. That a/c just looks right with jets.

We don't just embrace insanity here.  We feel it up, french kiss it and then buy it a drink.
