Here's one I made earlier.....an unusual SEAC aircraft. Any ideas?

Looks like a Polish or French jobbie to me.

Oh I know......

it's the Bristol Bangbus B.4

Well my first thought was a Beech A-38 Grizzly, but I don't think the engine cowlings look sleek enough ?

Lovely model n my favourite scheme   - when I clear my current "Hangar Queens" I have a lot of SEAC/FEAF projects I want toget started on as well as some RAAF/RNZAF SW Pacific projects.

Yeap it looks like a Beach Grizzly with different engines - it certainly looks the part however

Thanks for all the comments. It started out as a Beechcraft Grizzly, but due to incompetance I messed up the engines and one wing so I shelved it. Then I discovered on old Airfix B25 Mitchell I had built in 1975 when I was 12. I decided to use the wings  and engines (rivets sanded off). I did some surgery on the fuselage, made some spars for the wings and had to use suprisingly little filler to get it together. Then and I used some spare props off a P38. Painted freehand with my new airbrush, decals from here and there ,et voila! as our French neighbours say. I like the Bristol Bangbus suggestion.

Van,

Well done - any more pics?  Backstory?

I hadn't thought of a backstory....I'll leave that to someone with more imagination than me. I only have the one pic taken today. I may take and post another!
thanks again for the comments.

I second the Grizzly look, although the rear canopy looks a bit Tu-2ish to me...?

Well Done,

Well, I think it should be used in an Anti-shipping role.  Might try to come up with a suitable backstory for you.
