You'd have to remove the booms I suppose, but ...................

Oooops I'd better repent then  ;) ;D
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Don't worry: the twin-boom Lord is a good Lord, you are (would be) forgiven! ;)

My point was that the engines-booms are a larger scale than the fuselage.

But I can't 'see' anything that's larger than 1/71 scale..........

Very possible but wrong: perfect for a what-if model! :thumbsup:

I've been thinking of using a Canberra fuselage with a spare set of 48th Mosquito wings to do a scaled up four engined Mosquito.  Not entirely sure if it could carry a Tallboy in the bomb bay though.

All I can say is ericr, you hit another home run! Great fit and looks so believable. I don't know what engines those are but they look like they could be turboprops.

Uh, "home run" is (I think) a word of baseball sport, which is not practised in our country, ericr and me. It means "top victory, best of the best", yes? ;)

A pair of Bristol Centaurus engines would look good on it!
