Some of you may know I like Trams.

Hope to go to Crich next year & see the real Dreadnaught.

JP-4 fuel, I'll leave it to you to calculate just how far it could go with a full tender of that.

That'll depend upon sfc. I'd say gun it and get some really serious speed going ... then you'll be able to coast the rest of the way!  ;D

more CAC fun.

After the CA-15 Kangaroo was deemed obsolete before production, a modified interim version with P&W R-2800 and jet-assist was built in small numbers.  Dubbed the Cac-a-roo in RAAF service, the Kiwis named it after their very destructive parrot the Kakapo.

When I first saw this I though... "Hmmm, looks French", then it struck me - it looks like a US version of the Breguet Br 761 ‘Deux-Ponts’!

The stretched fuselage on Hastings MPA looks great but it is missing the MAD tail feature.  :smiley:

I love your updated Junkers-Dornier P.490 with turboprops (although they too need Jeff's MAD stingers)  :smiley:

A minor nerd quibble is that your 'Kreigsmarine' should read postwar 'Bundesmarine'.

Lineage: Kaiserliche Marine --> Reichsmarine --> Kriegsmarine --> Bundesmarine (or Volksmarine) --> Deutsche Marine

Glad you like them, quibbles noted.  Did consider MAD booms but these aircraft were to snoop on Soviet western regions so running away from Russian fighter-interceptors required tail guns  ;)

They are Maritime Patrol Aircraft (MPA), which includes surface work, rather than pure Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) aircraft though so perfectly acceptable to not have MAD booms given this is specific to the latter mission.
