Interesting! Will you dare drawing a twin-boom Boston?

Stop reading my mind Tophe !! ;D ..... already in progress ......

a couple of captured Junkers Jumo 004 jet engines and tries them out on a Havoc?  Could you please show us your vision of what this might look like?

Hmmm, a jet Havoc = Javoc ...... the Germans did experiment with captured planes so a test-bed for the Ar-234 program or a US Navy test-bed ??

A test-bed for the Ar-234 program would probably make the most sense.  Perhaps, a Russian A-20 that fell into German hands...Also, the suggestion of twin Jumo nacelles is a good one...

Wow Raafif, nice job on the Javoc !  :D  Thanks!  Could you please do a Luftwaffe version?  I would ask for an Australian version, but I couldn't imagine how a Javoc would end up in the Outback!  ???

Dear Raafif,
now that you have revealed to the whole World the twin-boom A-20, let me present the observation derivative of it:

yeah :) , I was gonna do that one as a fuselage with the booms removed to show it better.   I'm thinking now that the booms are just a little bit too short :(

Thinking about a tandem cockpit (fore-aft) version as suggested earlier ...... a side-by-side is a no go as the Boston is actually more cramped than a Beaufighter.

An Aussie Javoc is a possibility ... USA uses Woomera for desert testing or a RAAF Boston with aussie-designed jets ??

If you enlarge the nose glazing, put the pilot there and get rid of the normal cockpit, this would look very Ar 234-ish.

Wow, that three story Luftwaffe Havoc is outstanding!  :D  Could you please tweak it one more time?  Could you please put single pod Jumo 004's under each wing; something similar to those on the Me 262?

Thanks,

CPT Mike

Nice Soviet "Kopcep" (Corsair)... :)

EDIT: can you show us a profile of Twin-Corsair, with bubble canopy on the port fuselage and faired canopy on the starboard fuselage?

Thanks. Now I know what to do with my surplus Kopcep's. But I do not have any Lidia's in my stash.
