Jet powered WW2 aircraft

Great stuff. Love this thread.

A jet XTB2D Skypirate anyone?

Well, how about a Jet Mitchell, using Darth Panda's very nice B-25C as the basis?

That's what I was Thinking1

Parts used- B-50 aft dorsal turret and observation blister, B-26 bombardier's window, Arado 234 engine pod and nose wheel, modified F-14 drop tank for the outrigger (which is probably too small), modified C-119 main gear door.  Shifting the mains into a bicycle configuration definitely gives it a unique look

Oooh that sounds like a blast 

[NARSES2]

Like the B-25K

Some years ago there was a movie called "Sucker Punch". It consisted of several parts, mostly being psychedelic dreams or visions. In one of them a B-25 with one jet engine and one normal radial was used to fight against some orks, goblins and a mother-dragon.
Some initial ideas for the a/c:


As you see an asymmetrical scheme with one jet + 2 radials.
In the movie the a/c was "dieselpunked" with some additional pipes and had 2 engines only.

You might recognize that the tail of the "Frankenstein" is in fact a F-18 in a smaller scale.
And here is the chase with the dragon:

That's not bad

Not a bad movie although the ending is a bit of a downer.
It benefits from being seen on a big screen with an earth shaking sound system.
I didn't notice the Mitchell had odd engines.  Must watch it again.

A film full of extremely attractive ladies that still massively disappointed me, I have to say. The walker was pretty cool, though, as were the samurai giants.

I like the profiled jet-Mitchell, but I think those German engines look a bit scrawny on it. Perhaps some fatter centrifugal engines would look a bit better? Or just some bigger nacelles... Nifty in any case.

[Jesse220]

Yes indeed, I think the Jet Mitchel would be perfect, even after the 2nd world war it could serve in the cold war until the 70s

Noice, 'cept K, L, M, N were all used for TB-25s converted from B-25J models. 
TB-25K/M converted by Hughes, TB-25L/N converted by Hayes Aircraft. Thirty five,
mostly Hughes TB-25K, served as fire-control trainers with ANG fighter interceptor
squadrons.

B-25P perhaps?

I like that jet B-25....looks right at home like that !
