Hokaaayyy... Another project occupies the already crowded factory floor - the old Revell Vought Cutlass. It's the same age as me!
Plan is to have it re-engined with RR Avons, which will give the 'Gutless' a lot more oomph, and a lighter weight. Now, the extra suckage of the Avons will require a larger intake, so I'm thinking of just cutting the intakes back to about where I have marked in red. Might put an angle on them like the original, just because it looks kind of cool. New fuselage wall section would incorporate a splitter plate. As you can tell from the plastic dust, sanding off oversize rivets and markings has already begun.
The butt-end will also need larger exhaust, not sure whether to just have larger holes or scrounge for pipes to add a bit of character.
I'm hoping that the C of G wouldn't be affected severely, depending on where it is in relation to the engines.
What say you, gents?
