Lauhof,Love the nightfghters, but how is the prop going to spin without ripping off the front of the radar pod?Mark
Well the Fairey Firefly had a radar pod (APS-4?) in that position but the Griffon is a tad longer than the R-3350(?).Absolutely love the VF-11 machine!
Might still be cutting it a tad close - besides the radar won't like having the spinning metal right in front of it. Maybe move to one of the wings? Either way, I still like the concept and the overall execution. :)

Granted, using tubes, it might be a bit bulkier, but it's still doable.
