That would be a fun plane... don't think I've ever heard of a 4-engine homebuilt, that would be different.  :o

Hope you can find some time or a friend to set up a web site showing progress.

Sort of been done before - when Shorts built the Stirling heavy bomber they first built a half scale prototype using 4 Pobjoy Niagara's...

I did meet a chap a while back who was looking at a similar idea. I'll see if I can find his details... might have lost them in the move however.

I don't think he's talking about a model.

No reason it couldn't be done although it would take a lot of work & probably cost a small fortune. Scale replica warbirds are quite popular these days although I never understood the attraction myself.

Indeed. I'd much rather own an authentic warbird. :-?

Might have been a lot better off building that wheelbarrow.
