Bent turbine exhaust
As a retired Naval Aviator who has flown the A-6 series of aircraft I have always wanted to have a flying model version of my plane. The A-6 has twin engines with the exhaust pipes that bend around a bit before exiting at the TE of the wing. On my model I would like to go with a single turbine with a bifercated exhaust but I am worried that there would be too much loss before it leaves the plane as well as concentrated hot spots on the metal. Who makes exhaust systems for turbines that might be able to help me out?

The A-6 that I we are building is our own design. The plug for the fuse is just about done. We procured a set of very nice 3 views and cross sections from Grumman via a employee who was a master modeler. He lost his battle with cancer over a year ago. He was a great guy.
It looks as if Tamjets may be the guy to try, thanks for the help.

It was said that Grumman was going to make the A-6 out of concrete but they discovered that steel was heavier
I got a million of 'em
