Tucano idea

darthspud · January 26, 2015, 10:59:42 AM

Was thinking of whiffieversing a couple of Tucano's into a P82/twin mustang
Any thoughts or am I a complete horses rear end for even suggesting this?

Or a P-38 style? Sounds like a great idea!

That would be a Twicano then?

Love the idea, specially considering all the chat about P-82s going on at the moment.

A Twin Tucano would have 4 seats... Make 2 of the crew into rear gunners

Kinda crazy, kinda cool ! I'm guessing it would work. Not sure about the training aspect of it, but it would make for a pretty neat attacker. Maybe 3 seats ? Maybe 2 ? maybe only 1 ? Or all 4 lol. Guns and bombs are a must. Would it have two nose wheels or would you make it a tail dragger ?

Twocano, perhaps?

crew of two, one cockpit fitted as a fuel tank/faired flush with fuselage.
Post apocalyptic long range patrol/escort aircraft/ ground attack as secondary role.

Post-apocalyptic?!

Now you have my (almost) undivided attention!

careful, i build as fast as glaciers move and my painting leaves lots to be desired.

Ordered the requisite kits from Airfix today so probably start sometime in Feb, have to clear a few part builts for space on the bench.
An A10 - U.S.M.C
AND
an F22 - RAF currently nearing completion.

Looking forward to seeing both of them. Nice ideas !

Save the landing gear issues and put it on floats!

Captain Canada · February 04, 2015, 04:34:29 AM

Now there's an idea ! Haven't seen one of those yet ! lol

Twincano......?

I like the idea of this.....outer landing gear from both and both nosegears.......one cockpit n the other faired over n fuel tank. Loadsa ordanance and maybe a gun pod under the central wing firing between the prop discs......?

outer main gears and nose wheel on each fuselage, fair over the inner two u/c bays and more room for bangy, whizzy or droppy things or bfo fuel drop tanks on both outer wings,
couple of under fuselage gunpods mounted under the inner wings between fuselages, faired cockpit on left fuselage,
