It is good, and it makes sense, as usual ;D

.... and it reminds me of my curiosity about what a Typhoon with (Sea) Fury wing would look like. Smaller than a Tempest but not as "modern" as a Fury.

There was a Sea Typhoon proposed, longer fuselage and longer wings if I remember correctly.

Gondor

Certainly longer wings. Can't remember about the fuselage off the top of my head

Yep, IIRC fuselage closer to the Tempest's in length.

Nice one, Dizzy.  One of my earliest whifs (and one that got me invited to this forum) was a 'Typhoon IIb' (http://www.arcair.com/Gal7/6201-6300/gal6247-Typhoon-Drake/00.shtm).

Flown by Squadron Leader Hamlet by any chance?

Was  the Sea Typhoon radial engined or did it stick with the Sabre?

If so I can't see the FAA liking that all that much, they didn't get on with liquid cooled engines all that much, with some notable exceptions of course.
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! :)

Sabre.
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Well done, Dizzy - that looks so right and the story is convincing.  :thumbsup: Hawker did fly two Centaurus engined Tornados - wonder why it wasn't continued.

Looks good with the Centaurus, in that suitable camo and in those Burmese markings.  :thumbsup:
Whatever.
