B-40 Mixfortress...

Or kinda like what the Russkies used to upgrade their mainly free fal bombners to use stand off missiles.

Easy way to deal with the B-40 designation being used already: Make it a B-40A! It was the ruse used to conceal the P-59A Airacomet, as the original P-59 was a pusher prop fighter that was never built...cleverly the designation was re-used for secrecy!

That's the good thing with turboprops: it was quite easy to replace the piston-engines of WWII aircrafts by this kind of engine.  The Turbodyne of WWII and the much later T-56 had RHOUGLY the same power...
Main candidates to the replacement by the T-56 would have been the R-3350 and R-4360 powered aircrafts.  
Now this rise many interesting whatifs
(B-50, Rainbow, B-42,B-35, B-36 but also many cargo\civil  planes C-97, Constellation and DC-6 or 7, C-124, maritime patrollers  Neptune, Mercator...someone know others "candidates" ?)
A turbodyne-powered B-36 and a T-56 B50 would have rocked!
Concerning the Skyraider, we all know that the Skyshark atempt failed. Now, what about a second try with the T-56 ? Much less complications...

Thanks for B-40A that's really a good idea! So we have a B-40A Mixfortress...

Me for T-Tails; BdaB for Spats; and Tophe for Twin-booms...

Heller is now in bankrupcy. But I need them for the spares! Hope they won't forget my C-130 turboprops...

Ask Airfix for engines then. If the engines are attached to the wings, then order the wings!

Yep! Better acting than lamenting

I received the Hercule's engines today. Now I have to cut the R-3350, to replace it!
But I go camping 300km of my house for 10 days (see you on the 19 august, guys!)
