Difficult to see with so light colouring...
Darker, I love it!

As the XF15C was ordered in 1944, was the XF16C designed in 1945?

that V-tail looks very similar to the Republic NP-50

I can see a jet exhaust nozzle there but where's the intake on this bird ?

Yes and in service say c1946.

The XA-46 was inspired by the Curtiss P-517. The intakes are where the radome terminates. 4 J35s.

I like that trainer. Excellent work! Great addition of that radome to it.

Hi Empty,

Really liked your Windsor design, could you please do one as a Costal Command bomber?

Thanks and regards,

CPT Mike

that JMSDF Curtiss TC-46J is just so neat ! Always loved the Commando for some strange reason -- going to do other vesions ??

Empty Handed · « **Reply #514 on:** May 21, 2013, 06:25:33 AM »

Thanks guys!

Well no I wasn't but as soon as I read what you said at least 2 ideas popped into my head so ...... yes, yes I am.

Although they'll be next week at this rate so please stay tuned.

It is possible. Is that the WWII grey over white or the post-war white over grey? Or dark blue like the MDAP Neptunes?

This isn't a redux but it is a Curtiss I have wanted to do for a while......

Another P-60 variant and a pre-war aircraft to come and then it'll be more C-46s/R5Cs (hint).

Yes - "for some strange reason". :) Gives me vision of building AWACS version. E2C dome or domes off Revell EC-121.

The WW2 scheme would look very good on the Windsor...

apophenia · « **Reply #517 on:** May 22, 2013, 06:43:16 AM »

I always liked the look of the P-60 series -- especially the 'E, which looks great in your operational scheme. But how did I miss that Curtiss TC-46J trainer!!

Empty Handed · « **Reply #518 on:** May 22, 2013, 08:14:51 AM »

Thanks! Here's another P-60.....
