Yep. I've been wanting to do one ever since I've gotten a lightning kit. I've decided that the amount of bodywork needed would make a bare-metal finish(that most lightnings have) a pain in the donkey to pull off nicely so I decided to do something that'd justify anti-flash white. The thing that's been holding me back was a lack of a decent middle wing section. I've since used a chopped up MiG-25 wing.

Anyways, twin-Lightning(popular name to be determined) will be a bomber, with nuke in the middle. In a fit of genius(and by genius i mean stupidity :dum: ), I've decided to put both seats on the port side, with tandem seating under a spare F-18 canopy. The other cockpit has been fared over. I figure that by putting crew and equipment on one side leaves more room for fuel.

I like the idea of both seats on one side. Communication would be much easier if radio silence was in force I guess......but then again, I've never heard how loud those engines were from the inside..........


Fantastic idea, I wish you all the best! :wub:  :wub:

be interesting to see how u go about this one.

Something simler was done by one of the SIG boys for the 2000 nationals.
I always hope for the best.
Unfortunately,
experience has taught me to expect the worst.

Size (of the stash) matters.

Wow! In that config it would be able to fly what? 5 or 6 miles before needing fuel!!  :P  
Try not. Do. Or do not. There is no try.

As a bomber, my twin lightning would only have enough fuel to nuke france... :ar:

Just so y'all know it still exists :cheers:

The pod in the middle is made out of sprue and a drop tank of unknown origin, bombing radar will be on the bottom of that. Still looking for something to make the nuke out of.

France must react to that... twin Mirage F1 (Mirage F1Z for Zwiling or F1J our Jumeaux)
King Arthur: Can we come up and have a look?
French Soldier: Of course not. You're English types.
King Arthur: What are you then?
French Soldier: I'm French. Why do you think I have this outrageous accent, you silly king?

Well regardless I would rather take my chance out there on the ocean, that to stay here and die on this poo-hole island spending the rest of my life talking to a gosh darn VOLLEYBALL.

Waiting for that here's my English electric P.1Z (Zwilling)
