This is interesting. Lots of whiffing choices. DC-3 with Jumo engines 737 style? With a fuel hose reaching the ground!

Exactly. Lots of potential to convert from piston to jet powered.

That's what I was thinking. Or one of the 1/144 DC-6s that Brian is so fond of.

That could work.  I might consider an in font/overwing fitment though so as to keep the modification minor.
