Boeing 3067 twin-boomer (finished page 2)

[Tophe]

For my birthday, my brother offered me (thanks!) the Unicraft kit of Boeing 306c (see http://www.unicraft.biz/on/b306/b306.htm ).
The content is presented below, and I plan to build it, not as 4-boom 1/72 fighter but short span twin-boom (fore and aft) 1/144 airliner (maybe double deck).

With the first drops of glue, the general aspect of my abnormal model appears:

I wasn't aware of that kit Tophe and it looks like one of Igor's better mouldings ? (Please note the word better is used in a subjective manner in this case)

It's a whiff in a box, as there was no 306 fighter project.

A genuine dream is good for me.
While the serious Secret Projects forum is describing it, even if Photobucket stop removed the pictures:
https://www.secretprojects.co.uk/threads/boeing-flying-wing-concepts-from-the-mid-1930s.304/
(not in the fake part or alternate history part of the forum)

Pictures are available at different addresses, and the source seems to be an article in Airpower 2005 (not April fools' day?):

Wikipedia confirms this Boeing 306 family of tailless projects but not mentioning the fighter part, just saying in talk there was a misunderstanding with the Boeing 360 helicopter due to a typo.

Thanks for the very interesting link
My airliner project will be different from the "real" airliner project in the 306-group: low wing, canard (and rear) tail, maybe double deck.

I have cut the wings for small span and started to add putty on the pod:

[Tophe]

The source picture made me dream of another twin-boom derivative:

But I will not build this one:
- not enough span for the tailplane in the kit (to do this)
- I am very bad handling thermoformed canopy (I prefer painting the window of a 1/144 airliner)
- I have already truncated the wing

[Tophe]

This could be a little closer to my model:

And even closer again (apart of the scale and canopy):

Sanding then putty again:

[Tophe]

The new sanding reached an acceptable status (according to me), so I glued the pod on the wing. Now drying (even if superglue should have an instantaneous fix):

[Tophe]

The Boeing 3067 prototype is far from complete but it is already a canard twin-boomer which is very rare!

[Tophe]

The B.3067 general layout is now fixed: two booms (big on port, small on starboard, for a little asymmetry) holding foreplane in front and tailplane on the rear part:
