Can't wait to see how this turns out.

Placing the cockpit farther aft allows for , conservatively , a 125 gallon / 473 L fuel tank
According to this --> https://www.deutsches-museum.de/en/flugwerft-schleissheim/ausstellung/flugantriebe-und-raketen/jumo-004#:~:text=Fuel consumption: 1273 kg/h
that JUMO 004 burns 1273 Kg/hr
Using 830 grams/ L for the fuel mass gives 378.4 Kg of fuel
( fuel density range is 815 to 845 g/L , from --> https://ww2-history.fandom.com/wiki/Junkers_Jumo_004_Engine )
About 19 minutes of the engine doing engine stuff .

So a generous compliment of JATO bottles on takeoff it is then ..

Haha , hopefully .

I had the air intake portion just about done , what can be done prior to installing the cowling , but I kept accidently sanding a radius into the vertical nose ,
so I embedded a 1.15 mm SS rod there . -- makes it 55 mm thick @ 1:1
Should have that primed and top coated with airframe aluminum tomorrow .

Then finish it off thru that 16 mm opening .
Should be interesting .

I hot glued bits of sanding sponge to sticks to smooth out the transition into the pipe ,
