In the French cartoon "Le voyage extraordinaire", tome 2, London is attacked in 1927 by pusher bombers...

   A Reaper wing fall through some sort of weird time portal into young Hitler's hands?

In the French comics Pif-Gadget, a very old issue of 1972, I have found this weird "Douglas". Is this an A-26 Invader with tandem cockpit?

[Logan Hartke]

Not quite, but it's close.  The wing on the A-26 was much higher on the fuselage and the fuselage was much boxier, for instance.

I will agree that that's where the inspiration came from, however.



The biggest problem with that is the same issue that plagues many scale-o-rama radial-engined aircraft.  Those engines are silly small (or that pilot is HUGE!).  Those are too small to be even R-1535s.  It is just a comic, though, and it's a pretty aircraft.

Cheers,

Logan

Thanks for this detailed analysis

72nd scale Invader with 48th scale engines and cockpit 

Love that painting of the Sea Tempest. I'd hate to take a carrier that close to the land/glacier/iceberg tho !

72nd scale Invader with 48th scale engines and cockpit 

Wouldn't it 72nd A-26 Invader with 48th (T-6?) cockpit and 144th (P-47?) engines?

[Captain Canada]

Looking back at the pic you could probably use the T-6 engines as well. Single prop as well ?

[Dizzyfugu]

Could be (based on) a Yak-200/210, too? From the size and the engines it's a good match:

[Captain Canada]

I still think it's Invader based, but that would be a good kit to bash if you were going to build one !

The bottom pic looks like its balancing on its main gear! Nice looking aircraft, even for a Russian design.
