Nice, except than an operational B-60 would have had turbo-props.  ;D

That B-60 is gorgeous.  :wub:

Although it's crying out for green/grey wrap around camo and RAF roundels.  :wacko:

I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Why?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convair_YB-60

Because that is what Convair had originally proposed for the prototype conversions (also they had proposed a turbo-prop B-36 back in 1947) and they returned to turbo-props for the production B-60.

See Chapter 10 "Swept Wing Slugger" in Magnesium Overcast: The Story of the Convair B-36,
Dennis R. Jenkins, Specialty Press 2001.

Allan Buttrick's Mosquito is real world.  An NFII was fitted with Lancaster style Merlins as a comparison and it flew horribly.

The seafood is Doug Girling's winning entry in the IPMS-Seattle 2009 Modelfy.
Modelfy is where everyone starts with the same base model (in this case it was
Merkava in any scale) and then creates something new that has to use at least one
part of the origin kit.
