Can you add a turbojet testbed? (with 3 turboprops and 1 turbojet, or opposite 1 and 3)

Boeing 707: transition from propelers to jets





Perhaps the same T57 turboprops intended for the XC-132?

What if Fw-200 returns to its primary role: long range airliner?

What if a fifth engine?

What if ventral gondola is widened and converted in a conformal tank?

 :-* Nice and peaceful airliner, thanks! But a Zwilling of it would have more range, wouldn't it?

Alternatively, remove two of the wing engines + the cupola and have it as a 3 engined variant...

Do you think 9 engines is enough?  ??? hehehe

If more powe rwas needed, you could add back the outboard engines for a seven-engined aircraft.  For real range and load carrying, spread the two fuselages apart, add two further engines to the center section and lengthen the fuselages forward and aft of the wing for capacity and to keep weight and balance in hand.

4 engines: Thinking on first transcontinental non stop flights. More  than 24h long  :-* ...
2 engines: Some shortening

Gee,,,  minutes before you posted Ventura I was evaluating a kit for bashing and figured a 1/72 Ventura should be pulled out of stash to check some of it will work as donator parts.  Shape looks good.  Dimensions may not match close enough to combine.

Great Ventura profiles  :)

Agreed. I have a few Ventura's (they are cheap) set aside a donors. Where do you get the tail from?
