Another Piglet Pusher...

If I ever make a twin-boom jet, it will be a Vampire FB5. I just never liked the jet J21. Adams makes cool looking twin boom propjobs, but their jet just looks funny, and couldn't compete with a Lear, Falcon, etc.
As far as planes serving in both piston engine and jet engine versions, there is also the Yak-15, a minimum-change conversion of a Yak-3.

I agree I like your thinking Tim, the barrel bodied yaks have always been a firm favorite of mine, the 15 and 17 were only used for like a year or two by the Ruskies, before the mig 15, but the look of the things and the manouverabilty described in books by the VVS pilots just makes me want either of them so bad, no doubt there!
 
As of this Sunday, just gotta do some metric gauges, and organize all the files, tex's, tweak airfile, etc. Model and VC are pretty much done.
Looks out of place at Edward's!
 
in a way it kinda looks like an XP-55 centre section slapped on a hodgepodge of other kit :icon_lol:

BUT.......

I LIKE IT!:ernae:
 
Superb stuff Tim, really looking forward to it :jump::ernae:
We (Norwegians) barely made bicycles when the Swedes did these :applause:
