As a jet, it does look cool... strange but cool! Red arrows point to exhausts:

It's starting to look like some star wars thing now. And poor Eric hasn't even cut sprue on his first aircraft, we have him chopping it to pieces! 
Now we have to figure out how to put floats on it!Very cool!
I like the weird and wonderful!
Shoot I haven't even got'in the kit yet...let alone cutting Sprue!!And poor Eric hasn't even cut sprue on his first aircraft, we have him chopping it to pieces!
I have these Academy pairs to spare. Note, rockets are available but the pylons to mount them are molded on the wings of the P-47N. These sprue trees are from their P-47D. I circled the nicely streamlined 150-gallon tanks.
I need to take inventory of what I do have, I think I'll be using the paper tanks on my mustang and I have the P38 tanks twice now.

even I think that would be a stretch!! Maybe it could eject the props and go skipping across the water like a stone!
Just a quick update...
Had a build day with Moonpup & imbrb (better known as Bob & Bruce). Spent the day cleaning parts and dry fitting the major assembles.
Here is what it looks like so far
Bob was kind enough to provide a pilot and some Drop tanks. Right after this photo was taken we found some tanks from a P-38 which I'll use.

Go Eric!
Looks swell, I didn't know so much time could be spent dry fitting, guess that's why my wing root sucked.
Looks good Eric.
Looks good Eric.
If those are the same type as the longer streamlined ones from the P-47 sprue tree I posted, they'll look fantastic!
Not only time, but expensive tape!
Nah...Just normal masking tape for Ace.
They are, I've called them the P38 tanks, I'm sure that's wrong. It also has a more natural seam line along that rib so nothing to fill in or clean up.
Those are 150-gallon fuel tanks.
