Painted in a USAAC NMF scheme that'd pass for some sort of Lockheed crew transport, it looks so 'right'. 

Or with a 3 tone upper camo and dark brown lowers. something very Dutch

Looks to me like a Junior Black Widow.

Good job Eric.

Junior? Like reduced scale?? What a heresy! Only scale 1 does exist! Everything else is fake! Years ago, scale modelers did make such fakes, what a shame!
No? Is this our common hobby?

No Tophe, like a young one which has yet to fully grow up.
The Female Black Widow, after eating her husband, lays a thousand eggs from which eventually a swarm of babies hatch.  Those which survive on the ground grow to adolescence in the form Eric has modelled and then take to the air where they feast on the fruit of Banananana Tree*


* The tree you know how to spell but don't know when to stop spelling it.

Thanks for this clear explanation!

I hadn't thought of the Junior Black Widow but it does indeed look like that !

Nah, just a shiny polished ali civvie job, no need to deface such beauty with military markings.

Very nice Eric. 

Northrop N-15, P-61 based transport concept.

[Tophe]
