I've been talking about this for a while and it's time to get started. Here's a crude mockup.



It's an Academy B-50D fuselage with wings, engines and horizontal stabs from a Trumpeter Badger-C.

Bear with me lads, this could take a while...

That's great! Simon R is back... I wait your models impatiently. The four-engine Flanker, Tri-engine Typhoon and Avro Vengeance really impressed me...
I think I'll follow this thread carefully...
King Arthur: Can we come up and have a look?
French Soldier: Of course not. You're English types.
King Arthur: What are you then?
French Soldier: I'm French. Why do you think I have this outrageous accent, you silly king?

Well regardless I would rather take my chance out there on the ocean, that to stay here and die on this poo-hole island spending the rest of my life talking to a gosh darn VOLLEYBALL.

Simon,

That looks hella cool!

And considering that the Soviets did essentially the same thing with the B-29's they captured (stretching, modifying, and upgrading them through a whole family of aircraft) it's not that far off!

It'll be sweet to see the thing all built and finished.

P.S.  *AWESOME* concept going on there...!  (oh yeah, BdaB already said that)

looking very good so far simon. :wub:

will it get one of those kipper or kennel ASMs under the fuselage?
