Jet powered WW2 aircraft

Not a bad Idea lets see it.

The perfect nacelles to graft onto a Mitchell would be those from a Beagle.

Sounds like a perfect Idea!

Now THERE'S a good idea!

On reading that my first thoughts were "Beagle Basset engines - huh " and then the truth dawned

There is a real life a/c with jet engines based on a WWII bomber - the Tu-12. A "Mitchell" could pretty much  look the same way with Americanized Rolls Royce Nenes by Pratt & Whitney:

AFAIK there is no model of the Tu-12 yet and so the Il-28 Klimov-engines remain the best choice. I started a "plastic-surgery" of a Trumpeter's Il-28 and an Italeri's B-25H once, but never came to an advanced working stage of the project.

A Tu-14 would be closer I think, and there's 1/72 models of that aircraft

The French B-26 Atar-testbed:

Perhaps same intake setup, but two engines in the belly with the exhausts exiting similar
to the F3D.

Me 109TL


Me 410, layout for one or two booster engines.

What the heck use all three and remove the DBs.

Wicked

Not quite *properly* jet powered, since its a turboprop, but I present for your consideration a T-38 powered EB-17A (Inspired by the PB1/PB1W Warning Fortress)

Hmmmmmmmmm sounds like a good Idea

[McColm]

I've been thinking of adding the wings from a Canberra to a B-17. The EB-17A looks great.

Is the EB-17A a twin or quad turboprop? I like it regardless. :snip:

Twin.  Two T-38s actually exceed the total rated horsepower of the Wright Cyclones used- 2500 shp per T-38 v. 1200 per R-1820.
