Three weeks to get from London to Coventry?! :unsure:
I could have walked there and home again in that time...  :rolleyes:

the main thing is nick that they reached me.  :cheers: i know you probably could have walked the 100 miles or so [97 miles if you go from euston to coventry [via kilsby] by train], but which way would you have gone?  ;D

the FM-1 wildcat is getting re-engined for a starter with a large UK manufactured radial engine which may double the horsepower and get a finish rather similar to those drone hellcats used in various US atomic tests after WW2, but with RN markings.

the P-40 hmm, well after the southern railway inspired P-40 'G-OVSB' well i might just go 'jock' on this one.  :wacko:

Mild? MILD?!
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 stop teasing us with numbers!  we need ames and scales and STUFF  :unsure:
the things you learn, give your mind the wings to fly, and the chains to hold yourself steady
take off and nuke the site form orbit, nope, time for the real thing, CAM and gridfire, call special circumstances.

Is he suggesting more quantity,such as 20 Curtiss Conqueror engines;  or more horsepower .............a dozen Napier Sabres, perhaps?

Dragon 1/144 TR-1A, for a RW build.

Falcon 1/72 vac-form conversion set for F-106B Delta Dart, F9F-8T Cougar, & Mirage IIID, two seaters. One of which is most deffinitely NOT going to be RW.

'Twas the Rolls-Royce "R" on the Supermarine, not the Kestrel. An altogether different beast!
Some of my models can be found on my Flickr album >>>HERE<<<

R  was 2400hp, 12 of   which would certainly move the Do-X  along.  The other suggestion, of 12 late model Sabres at 3500hp each  would give the flight engineer  a little something in reserve should he find it necessary!

12 Sabres on a Do X would probably pull the entire wing off!

a trio of Airfix Vampire T-11's arrived from the Big H today.
I always hope for the best.
Unfortunately,
experience has taught me to expect the worst.

Size (of the stash) matters.
