That looks incredible ! Nie one. The resemblance to Grumman's example is uncanny. But every good Canadair engineer will tell you the 4 engined VTOL tilt wing is a bust  ;D
CANADA KICKS arse !!!!

When a whif modeller invents for fun what was secretly the very best of technology, I think this modeller is close to being a genius, no? ;D  :thumbsup:

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

the tilt-wing interpretation is beyond my ambition, but the resemblance is inspiring !

In an odd way it does  ;)  :thumbsup:  :thumbsup:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

I know it's because of the engines but to me it's a biplane Avro Manchester.

A very good biplane Manchester.

Would like to see it finished in early WW2 RAF bomber colours.
