Single engined Blackburn Buccaneer .

But one TF-30 is only a tad more powerful than one Spey, unless you run it burner the whole time.

A Rolls Royce  BR 700-715C1-30   would give you over 21,000 lbs of thrust, but you'd have to play games with the timeline in your backstory.

Kits second rule 👌
That's Gentlmens rules are very handy pretty much all the time 

Thanks to Kericks voice being stuck in the back of my head about the intakes and all the aircraft ive checked I've finally come up with a way to enlarge them ..ive widened the original intakes by 4mm .
So now they'll still look like Buccaneer intakes but taller

Late the party on this build.. liking the thought direction. Even though I am a big Bucc fan and this is sort of heresy... I like it !!!!

Brian mate I'm becoming a fan of this beast ..the look of this plane has grown on me quiet alot and that's the main reason I've tried to keep this looking as much like a Buccaneer has I can ..minus its airbrake ..that I just couldn't find a place for it ..so it's a brake chute now .

If my internet speeds up abit then it's possible I'll post a update ...I had a wee mini disaster with the nose cone and I'm now reshaping it..well not reshaping..more rebuilding it ..I epoxied it last night so it's good to go now for sanding

Sounds like it inadvertently impacted a nonmovable surface during a vertical acceleration.

Nope 😄
It's very strange actually bud ...I used air rifle pellets in the nose cone as weights ..nothing new or strange about that...and I used this cheap nasty CA glue to make say put ..nothing new or strange there either..done that many times too .
What I noticed was a dent in plastic which I thought was weird and when I pushed it ..it was very soft ...some how the CA was softening the plastic..it's never done that before..so I cut it out and the more I cut the less nose cone was there 😅
Weird that huh? 🤔 😅
So Tamiya epoxy putty has been doing it's job..so far it's going well 👌

This has me thinking mate ..im wondering if it something to do with that plastic Airfix use.
I'm wondering this because I've done this many times with brands like Monogram.  Revell..Hasegawa and so on but not Airfix..im pretty certain I've never built a 48th scale Airfix kit before..before this one anyway also this is 30yrs old too and I did notice how soft this plastic is.
So that got the thinking going.
