There's a H-6 four engined proposal that looks very similar to your build.

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

I love this ancestor of the 747, making a complete Boeing family! :wub: :thumbsup:

The Nomad VI* powered Super Carvair;D

*The VI was two Nomad II driving a common gearbox, counter-intuitively the huge
two-bladed propellers were found to be very efficient on the typical long-range flights
for which the aircraft was designed as one half of each Napier VI would be shut down
while in cruise, the other half being run at a relatively low cruising rpm avoiding the
high tip-speed that would normally be expected. They were the largest, slowest running
two-bladed propellers seen since the Linke-Hoffman R.II built towards the end of WWI.

I am ashamed to admit I did not notice the two-blade propellers (on a modern plane like that). This is one more good point, so unusual! :thumbsup:
(Thanks joncarrfarrelly to have insisted on that.) <_<

This looks pretty convincing!
Turn those engines into big honk'n turboprops with Bear style props.

Very modern engines would look more credible <_< but less funny ;) ;D
