The Convair model49

[Rheged]

 I came across this machine whilst looking for something else entirely. It appears to have been a reasonably serious proposal, Fantastic Plastic even have a kit of it.......but it looks like a whiff!  Anyone fancy having a go at one in Viet Cong markings for the "captured" group build?
