The title and first posts  are making me think of a scaleoramed "thing" with 1/72 Vampire tails and engine, and forward 1/100 or thereabout Canberra fuselage (or 1/48 and 1/72)

Revell's Martin B57B is 80th scale, if that's any help.

For me, this will be just drawings, not plastic models, I can do any scale of the components. While... if someone is interested to do it in plastic, that may be useful, thanks! (and I would vote for him/her, not for myself I would add "drawing" in the title of this topic here) ;)

Often given as 1/85. yes, I have most issues of it. Or I could stay with 1/72 as in the sample,with an old Matchbox and an Italeri 1/48 TR-1A.
Owing to the current financial difficulties, the light at the end of the tunnel will be turned off until further notice.

Would it look like the Lockheed U-2 with Canberra wings?

An U-2 with Canberra wings (the part outside the engines) would look more or less like a F-104, with a much fatter wing profile... :-\
The opposite would be more interesting (1/72 Canberra with 1/48 U-2 wings):


Kit's ears will be twitching ....if he's not already modelled it!
Oh to be whiffing again :-(

Not yet, But I LOVE the idea.  :wub:
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! :)

July has started now (on this side of the planet) so I may start.
Later, I will make a vector drawing of slanting view, allowing many many different shapes, while for a start I may play more easily with bitmap photo editing of top view.
So I start here with an asymmetric single-engined Canberra and a twin: single-engined twin-fuselage Canberra: <_<

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Here is the slanting view of the asymmetric single engined one (then the big wing, then the twin-boomer): <_<

I then thought about putting both engines on the same side, shortening the other wing (sorry Kit) discarding one tailplane while lengthening the other.
Here she is (not matching the topic's title but interesting, as one double engine): <_<

I like this Tophe.  How does it look with the single tai on the same side as the engines?
