I just saw nighthunter's Boeing B-16 over on Shipbucket and just had to have a go at one myself!

Although based on the Boeing 247, it really evokes an American Blenheim, doesn't it??

That is excellent! There's a hint of B-17 there but it takes nothing away from the B247. Very nice  :)

Gloster's N.21/45 submission became the Grampus NF.1 in Royal Navy service. Powered by twin Rolls-Royce Crecys, it proved to be a valuable asset in the Soviet War.

A razorback Jug with minimum modifications to take a R-4360 and associated turbo-supercharging. A prelude to the XP-72. Unless it was a trick question.  ;)
