when you look up "Warplane" in the dictionary, It should have this aircraft pictured. :wub:

Yea, what Ben just said!!! :thumbsup:

This is the most impressive take of the last ones. Makes me imagine it on on an end-run against a determined defender in an strenghtened position in the jungle. Photographed for posterity from an accompanying attacker.

Or, if you're on the cheap as I am, I found that the hardware store sells the clear rods for opening and closing blinds. They work in a pinch. ;D

Hey Ron, how's this for a tribute build?

I couldn't figure out what you used for the tails, so I'm using a E-2 Hawkeye's with the paint still on them.
What is the nose ball turret from?

Hmmm... I love oldschool style bombers  :wub: maybe I'll make one, if I have time... Keep goin'! :)

The engine naccells and the tail planes are from the Grumman P-50.The turret in the nose is the original tailgunners turret from the Avenger with a 20 mm cannon
I am sincerely honored ;D :wub: :thumbsup:
If you really want to play around ,I have a follow up planned ......Helldiver with F7F TIGERCAT engines with a 75 mm in the nose instead of the turret
