To lose 10% in reduction gearing would require some pretty bad gear.


I was being conservative and prudent, as any good engineer would be..............
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! :)

Seeing as the underside of the pod has access panels for the gun bay and engines I thought that the radiators etc would look good on the upper surface. Would there be any issues with this placement?





I like it, pleeeeze say it's OK :wub:.

The radiators on the Spitfire aren't completely inside the ducts - they are inside the wings too. There is probably enough space on your nacelle to do that, so I can't see a problem. Other than since you are using paired Griffons you will need 2 more of radiators that size.

Precisely.  ;D

Done some more work on the Mustang. Got sidetracked by some other projects (see other posts) :

That looks so un-Mustang I'm wondering if calling it an asymmetric Mustang may be considered false advertising. :blink:

Weird, ugly but very interesting! :thumbsup:

Good idea, Wombat: I am willing to draw the missing links! Thanks!

The starting point may be Glenn's J5F-1 Bronco (see http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,2136.0.html ), and step by step, we go to Librarian's beauty...
