Northrop B-55 Corona/Arado 555 (Revell 1/72)

[ujik]

Hi all, presents its latest model.

"This is just my imagination how Arado 555 could look like if it was made by  Northrop and used  as Strategic Nuclear Bomber under Strategic Air Command.

Camouflage was made-up by Karlík (many thanks to him).

The kit is in fact a re-build of  an old partially assembled kit, which I had done some 16 years ago, without using putty, sanding and painting (all that was forbidden for me at that time, because I had lived with my parents, you see).

That plane could halved been useful if it was built

Looks great! Very good job on the NMF!

Can't help thinking how it would look with a fewer number of more modern engines.

Wow....that is awesome ! Love the paint scheme, perfect for that era. The bomb bay looks huge !

[Dizzyfugu]

That looks lovely...  And inspires: how about replacing the six Jumos/BMW jets with two twin nacelles from a B-47... 

Great, great work and finish!

Thanks everyone for the compliments.

Modern engines are Interesting idea.

Yowser.  That's flippin' amazing.

Beautiful.

The greenhouse nose suddenly becomes very Boeing B-29ish. 

Nice big bombs, too.

Keep coming back to this thread to marvel...speechless . Just love the metallic effect on the main gear doors. Is this the a/c (or something similar) from Indiana Jones?

Is this the a/c (or something similar) from Indiana Jones?

No, that had pusher props, but it's a similar shape

[Librarian]

Thanks. Gorgeous pusher there. Have to watch that again sometime.
