Jet FT Plane

Hello everyone,
I am going to make a jet engine to put in to a plane and I wanted to use a FT plane, but I'm not sure which plane to use. I would like it to be able to go as fast as possible. The jet engine will have a 128mm/5" internal diameter and a 135mm/5.3" external diameter. What would be the best plane. Anything will help, thanks.

Not to discourage you but foam and heat don't go together very well. you will have to figure out a way to protect the foam. As for the plane I would use the Viggen. Its the only one designed after a jet to begin with.

It isn't a turbojet, it is a turbofan. Sorry I should have said that. It means there will be cool air between the fuselage and the jet.

the other thing is fuel. fuel and foam don't mix either. another item you will have to protect from

If I were to choose a plane that wasn't a Viggen. What plane would it be and if any modifications could be done like sweeping back the wing what would you do, because I have some ideas like sweeping back the wings on the Bronco so it would be a bit like a Vampire, but any ideas would be appreciated.
