A P.1101 tandem trainer conversion, I think this will go very nicely with the P.1109B conversion in my stash and the recently re-released P.1083 wings I've ordered.

Hmm! even though I have the AMT RC-135V boxing, I might have to get one of those conversions.

Hold Up!  correction Carl, yesterday I saw your pics in your first post, and then you posted the pics from BritModeler. Well I've just noticed that all I can see this morning is what Greg shows in his post. Sorry about the confusion ----

Those Hunters look great!

Greg - if you're using Firefox, make sure you haven't set "Tracking Protection" (in Privacy and Security) to Always. You want Facebook to be able to track your every move, right?

I've just realized what the problem is, the link goes to the SPF site, you can't see any pictures if you're not logged in, probably why I could see it at first, I was logged in over there at the time.

Sneak preview of a Freightdog project that is under preparation for release in November, the Hawker Siddeley HS.125 Naval Courier brochure proposal from 1965. This will be a simple resin conversion for the re-issued Airfix Dominie in 1/72 scale, allowing you to made a COD version. The Naval Courier concept didn't get any further than a brochure but makes a fascinating What-If.

If you can find one, might be good to use on a Matchbox HS125-600 or a Sword U-125A for a stretch.

Yeah, but, IIRC, the Matchbox kit is of the TFE331-powered version.  I have a Dominie kit in the stash and likely will by more, but I do consider other options for extended whiffs.

Yep, you are correct.  The TFE331 was the civil designation for the engine that went in the T-46, a turbofan built on the same core as the TPE331.
