 There's an article in the magazine FlyPast May 2021 on the Bristol Brabazon with quite a few black and white photos which has given me an idea to create a jet powered version.
The kit will be built almost straight out of the box as you can use the extension shafts along the leading edge for the turbojet engines. This just means scratch building the tail pipes and sanding down the gear boxes under the wings plus sanding down the places where the radial engines used to be mounted.
It seems that a lot of work needs to be done to the 1/144 F-rsin model to get something decent so the turbojets won't hinder the build.
