I like the Merlin engine that is used to run a Hydraulic pump? In the Mosquito!

I like the Merlin engine that is used to run a Hydraulic pump? In the Mosquito!
The "massive turbocharger" is the hit! Of course, 4 x BS is still a BS.The P-47 turbocharger must have been 'massive' as it is mentioned 4 times and fills the fuselage from wing leading edge to vertical fin.
Nah, not in combination with the "massive turbocharger" x 4.There actually was consideration to convert the P-47 to jet power, first with a J31 engine, then a J35 (which would make for a great scratch build).
They opted for a clean sheet design instead (F-84), so...the turbine in the tail sorta, kinda *might* be remotely legit - but only if there's a red arrow pointing at it.
Busted.Is it actually a Merlin, or a de-rated Meteor?
My '62 Chevy Nova has Wind Wings, but not Wing Wings.I like how the TA-152 has Wing Wings, sounds cute
But the tail of the plane is definitely behind the pilot. So maybe that's a second set of instruments to fly backswords?Ummmmm....I.P. behind the pilot?
