Blue's Bucc.  Is there a build thread running?

No, it pre-dates me joining the Forum, which means I started it in 2005 or thereabouts!

I did one back in the 70s but some ratbag stole it from a show and I just had to do another. I'll start a late thread on it when the crisis is over.

I like it, but then start pondering the 'practicalities'

If it was a real aircraft, was this the prototype, as (with the Me-262)it has a tail-wheel, considering the work on the nose and the wings, it's would've been relatively easy to Photoshop?

Wing guns are a little superfluous, or maybe the aim is overkill! 

I wonder how well the Spitfire wing would've done? Didn't it perform pretty well at relative high (for the era) mach numbers?

I do like it though 

Looking at it, I've a feeling it could work, especially if it was a developed Type 313 that was offered to the same spec a the Whirlwind...

Swear I've seen that Jet Spitfire in plastic somewhere ?

Then there was this, also ...

Looks very like my Jet Spitfire from a few years back

It certainly does, but yours is more practical as it has a nosewheel.

That's the one we were looking for!  As I said, the photoshopped one must be the prototype, like the prototype Me262s it had a tail-wheel.

Interesting to see the differences in positioning of the cockpit - the trailing edge photoshopped one v the central over the wing model

That is what i'd call a very Gerry Anderson'esque design... i love that paint job!

I remember this one and it looks even better that the photoshopped one!

I've seen the one with the chin intake before but not the version with the Bristol 188 style engine pods. They look so different, but so good 

[chrisonord]

They both  look  brilliant.  I  would  definitely  like  to have both of those in my alternative  cold war RAF aircraft  builds

Both of them are great! I fancy the 71-d maybe better than the other one.. Great ones and thanks for sharing!
