Just a beta, the spinner needs some work still

I'll bring it out as a package of six repaints, including one original made more dirty looking. Give me a little week.

Is the turbojet engine required at all times, or only during heavy load and or high speed conditions?

Not at all! It flies perfect without it. I switch it off before landing on a carrier. Not a good idea to fry the hook, I think! Very amusing is the fact that one can move the arm rest out of the way to switch the engine off. It is very easy to put her on a deck btw.

Yes, they only used the J33 jet engine for takeoff and high speed dash over a target area. The interesting part is that both the J33 engine and the two PW R2800 Radial engines used the same grade of AVGAS to simplify to fuel system. The R2800 engines are powerful, robust, and combat proven (used on the F6F Hellcat, F4U Corsair, P-47, A-26, F7F, F8F, C-46, and a number of other aircraft) and I have no doubt those engines alone could easily maintain a high cruise speed without jet augmentation. Regarding the use of AVGAS with the J33 jet engine, I do have experience with that as I used to service a privately owned T-33A. The owner/pilot used to have me add about 50-60% Jet-A fuel and then the rest was AVGAS. He said it actually helped the J33 run at cooler temps without causing any issues (lower TBO time, etc).
From all that I've ever read about the Savage, it was a noted as being a dream to fly and quite fast but it had it's share of significant to serious reliability issues. Those issues were caused by the speed in which it was rushed into production and into Fleet service. They eventually got it debugged and into a fine aircraft but by then, the A3 Skywarrior simply outclassed it.
This model looks great and is certainly on my buy list in the coming months.

Frank,
What do you think of this one? Backup the original first!

Be yourself. Everyone else is already taken.
Terrific paints! Thank you. Glad to see you guys enjoying our latest endeavor. More interesting types to come. One in particular, many of you are going to love.
Although the AJ2 isn't on my radar these paints are looking real good! Nice work Cees.

I love the repaints you guys are doing. I'll definitely be adding them to my Savage once they're released. Thanks.
I too picked up my copy over at FS Pilot Shop earlier this evening. I'm impressed with the overall workmanship of the model and the piston/jet engine integration (throttles and sound). MAL, I know you pushed for a Savage model for a long time. Glad to see it come to fruition in this nicely done model.
