A twin pusher E.555?  Or a variant of the Raiders plane?

That's going to be quite something!

Where did you get those contra-props from please?

I'm going for a pusher version of the E.555 and the props are off a AMT XB-35 Flying Wing Kit ;D

Ahah, thanks. I thought they looked familiar but couldn't figure out why.

Which of course raises the question of what you're going to do with a prop-less B-35......  ;)

The XB-35 kit comes with two propeller systems, the contra-props and single props which I think are for the YB-35 variant, these were what they used because of the contra-prop gearbox cooling problem (or something along those lines).  Each set of props are quite different to the other.

Oh hell yes - that's an inspired idea!  :thumbsup: :wub:

I was more wondering what you're going to do with all those jet engine pods actually..... :wacko:

The engine pods along with the Pogo and Wyverns props were all part of the ongoing development that I was doing lastnight until I settled on the XB-35 props and a carved up NKC-135 Laser fairing.  :thumbsup:

Looks interesting Steve  :thumbsup:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

No matter what design may have looked like your model, this model is very nice! :thumbsup:

Looks good. Why do I suspect that this might be "scale-arama'd"

No Scale-arama Ed, just a chuffing big prop.  ;D
