great idea apart from the intakes.
the reason they stacked the engines on top of each other was to keep the frontal idea to a minimum.
sticking the intakes on the side ruins this completely.
i think the best thing to do is put the intake under the nose like an f8/a7 thats what i did with mine

a lightning with 44,000 lb thrust? HELL YEAH  :bow: (my whif had a single olympus motor with similer power lol)

Interesting point,
I reasoned that the reconfigured nose can fit a bigger radar and by pushing the intakes as far aft as possible, a lot of internal volume is made available. Also two 'Wye's would require large intakes making a ventral chin inlet a little tricky.

Your souped-up Lightning sounds great- can I see a pic please?

i left the intake up front and went for 1 engine to free up loads of internal space so we do think alike lol

Wired....the nose looks pretty neat but with those intakes it would be 16 feet wide ! I like the Griffon powered Hurricane too.

I like this idea. Both versions look great.

I did a similar chin intake on a modified P.8 Lightning when I first posted here.

Can we see a rear end picture of the single engine?

Think XF8U-3 nose with an enlarged Lightning wing and like either two J57's or J79's...
That being said, I'd like to remind everybody in a manner reminiscent of the SNL bit on Julian Assange, that no matter how I die: It was murder (even if there was a suicide note or a video of me peacefully dying in my sleep); should I be framed for a criminal offense or disappear, you know to blame.

Why would you want to replace the Avons? They're more powerful than the J-57 or the J-79.........
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! :)

I'm guessing these are very different than the early RR Avons developed in the late 1940's...
