Default RE: 2008 the year of the Turbinator

Yea, the key phrase is "hopefully will resemble"...

We're going to leave the tail in the stock position and also leave the wing in the stock shape - I'm no aircraft designer and I don't want to change the flying characteristics. Our changes are mainly going to be rounding the fuselage, making the inlets look more like a Banshee - with the "fake" twin and the engine in the stock location as you said, adding the tip tanks (from a Ziroli Panther), and changing the canopy a bit.

That, and a Banshee paint job, should make it look "cool" and different enough that Louie will be happy with it. Oh, and we're also going to add BVM dropable bombs - for the "cool" factor too...
