Allow me to introduce you to the Hawker Siddeley Gnat T.2:

Equipped with two J-85 Turbojets, the Gnat T.2 was a development of the T.1 and designed to bring supersonic training to the RAF at a low cost.

Different.

These are afterburning J85s? Nice choice of engines (I'm guessing that the AS Viper would've been a bit too chucky to have been paired in a Gnat airframe).

Very nicely done. For some reason, I keep thinking of a developed tactical version with a single RB.199.

The J85s fit perfectly in the volume for a single Viper. Give the Gnat nearly twice the thrust. I used bigger tanks 'cause I suspect it would use twice the fuel! ;D

That is a little cutie pie!!

Tidy !!

Yeah, J85s are thirsty little suckers - look at the tankage on the early Learjets which used the civilian version.
Beautiful little aircraft, there.

Nice one!
