I got an SOB 2nd class just the other day as a part of a lot of models... was contemplating just the other day what i should do with it to Whif it and you do this! 

[Gondor]

not trying to be a JNM but...... I thought contra rotating props meant that one part went clock wise and the other part anti clock wise, or did I see the picture wrong ?

Yes one prop faces the normal way and one prop is mounted backwards so the blades face different directions
TDAN My original idea was to mount the twin engines from a Tigercat on the Beast ala the twin engine Avenger I did but I changed my mind. Feel free to run with that idea

      It looks kinda like Curtiss' prototype XBT2C-1. I think the Q about the c/r props is that it looks to me (at least) both props have the same direction pitch. You may have installed it 'backwards', but that didn''t change the pitch, so they're not c/r props.

Hey I just make cool looking stuff  I don't know how it actually works Looking at the prop from the Pogo I see what y'all mean ,though I ain't cutting all the blades off and repositioning them. Lets all just pretend

[Cliffy B]

SWEEEEEEEET!!!! 

So whose colors will she be sporting?

[sotoolslinger]

This will be a Republic of Texas marked plane but I have not decided on the actual camo yet. Suggestions?

Looks sorta like the result of a hot date between a Skyraider and a Helldiver . . .

What environment will it be flying in and what era?

[Ed S]

Great concept.  Who else would turn an SB2C into a fighter.

Thanks y'all 
She'll still be a carrier craft,1940's I am actually thinking of going gray
Tomorrow you will see her with cut down wingtips and horizontal stabs

How about USN Atlantic Gull Grey over White?

I love this.   "What does the modeler who has a dozen projects on the go do for kicks?"

Makes it a Baker's Dozen.

Very cool, Ron.
