Here are three options for the Gloster Gemini Night Fighter NF.14. Will be built from two Matchbox Meteor NF.11/12/14 kits. 3 and 4 engine versions.

I like the triple (second one down) but with a joined tail like number 3

Thanks.

After slept on I too am leaning towards 3 engines but with design #2 with the outboard stabs. There are also other goodies you'll see when it is built.

Looking forward to it

Finally a photo. I front end loaded the build by closing up the landing gear bays, cutting new ones (look inside the fuselage) as it will be a tandem design, closing up and making new pylon locations.

Looking good Carl

Yep, three engines is way to go. In styrene form is better than drawing.

Agreed !

Tidy piece o' plastic surgery Mr. Wombat

Looking good so far. Repositioning the landing gear is interesting.

Liking this a lot

Heck of a configuration and coming together well.

Kerick · « **Reply #23 on:** July 02, 2020, 09:54:45 AM »

Looking at your build just now I had a flash of an idea! How about painting it up to look like a WB-57? High altitude research aircraft.......

a bit too symmetric ?
