That Emirates bird looks awesome ! Man I'd love to see ( and hear ! ) one of those fly by.

Yeah, that aircraft would look good in anything!

The Tu-114 is ALWAYS beautiful! 
And the RoKAF Do-335 is intriguing. Not bad at all in NMF. I had missed it when posted.

I know... but the combo is rather "exotic".

Love the (nightfighter?) A-10. Guessing it has four Jumo's?.

Needs a Schräge Musik installation....

Why do I get weird, wonderful .....and frightening thoughts of a 30mm Avenger cannon Schrage Musik installation  Firing it doesn't bear thinking about

Would the tail and the engines remain attached to the airframe? I suspect not.

I know, it'd be a 'one-shot' wonder....but think what it'd do to the target!

I love that A-10 Vortboar! I can see that thing hunting WW II Russian tanks!

I think thats from one of the IPMS Brampton boys.

The quad engine layout on that A-10 is just inspired! 

Seeing the little turret at the tail... has anyone thought about scale-orama'ing a 1/48 A-10 into a 1/72 medium bomber? Or, given the size of that thing (the A-10 is about as long as a B-25!), probably more of a heavy bomber? Side-by-side cockpit, engines as per this night-fighter whif, tail gunner (B-25-style), turret on top of the fuselage, depending on scale either a B-25-style gun nose or, if it's to be bigger, even a nose turret,....

I propose a tail gunner laying down and a lot of framing on the canopy to make it look more German.

Just awesome!

I'm figuring that my visualised cockpit may be too wide in the same scale (although I don't know for sure), so what about a 1/48th A-10 scale-o-rama'd to 1/72nd, with a 1/72nd Ju.188 cockpit? If it doesn't need to be scale-o-rama'd, even better!

From the Ju.188 cockpit: Delete the ventral gun & gunner's position, delete the cockpit-rear dorsal & nose guns, make the upper turret a remote station (like the rear turret on the above) &, perhaps, move it to just behind the cockpit. The radar can be fitted to either side of the cockpit. Crew can consist of; pilot, bomb-aimer, engineer-gunner & R/O-gunner.

Edit: Oh, & maybe flip the tail turret to under the tail, rather than above ('coz that'd be covered by the dorsal turret).

Either that or fit the He.219 cockpit with pilot & R/O-gunner, which could probably work in the same scale (1/48-1/48, 1/72-1/72, etc.).
