A fantastic looking model and big in 1:12 scale. I can just hear the electric ducted fan which is as close as you can get to the sound of a jet engine without having one and quite realistic in certain aircraft due to it's high-pitched whine? They sound good in something like a model DH Vampire or other early jet and I'm amazed that he only has one motor in such a big model - it must be very lightweight?!
Nice story Tom, thanks for posting.

A ducted fan is not as close to the sound if a jet engine as you can get, it's a nice whine but far from being the jet whine you get from a micro jet turbine engine and are not limited to use in old aircraft such as the DH Vampire as they are most see in modern day jest such as Concorde or F15's etc
Here is a test

and within jet turbine models..

Let alone the trucks, cars, boats and heli models that use them

I wasn't including 'proper' jet engines in my assessment of the sounds produced and I did say "which is as close as you can get to the sound of a jet engine without having one" meaning without having one of the model jet turbines which you refer to, and which you correctly say do very much sound like real jet engines, and beautiful they are too, but apologies anyway for not making my thoughts clearer in the first place?
