Tempest —> Typhoon conversion

Hi All,

As there are almost a dozen Typhoon cockpits around in the UK but no fuselages, wings etc. To start with a fuselage, is it possible to convert an Indian Tempest fuselage back to Typhoon standard by deleting the fuelbay forward of the windscreen? Or is too simple a thought?

Cheers

Conversion….

OK cees I’ll bite 🙂 . I guess it would be possible but there is alot of work…to start with the main spars are different (to cater for the thinner wing) which would in turn require changing some of the cockpit tubing!! The forward section would also have to be totally rebuild from scratch to cater for the Sabre. The only real ‘bolt on’ part from the Tempest is the rear fuselage some of the cockpit frame and I believe the tail section.
