Doodle of A-6 Intruder and Me-410 engine

Yeah well I don't really know where this is going, yet....

This idea got to me when I found a frog Me-410 and a build up 1/144 ( or is it 1/100?) A-6 model . I checked width of the engine and width of the A-6 nose and Presto!
Need to figure out what to do with the remaining a-6 intake ducts. Maybe make it a turbo prop by extending the intake ducts to the exhausts of the engines. The A-6 exhaust could remain as is..
Nose gear will return once the nose job is finished.

Extended ducts sounds like a good idea.

Pity it isn't a contra-prop, because that way you could claim it was a twin turbo-prop*!

[*: In the same vein as the Fairey Gannet with its Double Mamba.]

Wonder if the A-6 could still tank with its refueling probe with that prop in the way...

It's Grumman's attempt at a Thunder-screech

For some reason when I look at it my mind screams ''Swedish!''

I think it's a CoIn aircraft. South America maybe. Suriname?
