Well,that's nice....a jet version would fit perfectly in ''Allies 46 GB'' ;)
Here she is, thanks!
-
Of course, a genuine twin-boom version was needed too:
-
What about this one Tophe, being shown on The Secret Projects Forum
-
That's the way sir ! :-* :-* :-*
-
Thanks! (and I will check if I have the Fokker already as a basis)
It is well known that the Supermarine Jetfire was a fake! But the Spitjet and Twin-Spitjet were real stars of 1946:
-
This Fokker powerful jetplane was built in 1946 by Fokker-USA:
-
Not quite a twin boomer:

Not quite a twin boomer:
Yes it is (I drew that a long time ago):

In 1946, after the atomic bombing of Berlin (990,000 casualties, what a glory!?), Sweden decided to join the Allies side, and brought its J-21Raketmotors:
-
Those are some magnificent and delightful concepts, mon ami!
I especially like the Fokker-USA jet plane. It reminds me of a Burnelli design.
Great stuff, Tophe!

Thanks a lot!

Ahem, this was a little different: on the Burnelli jetplane of 1946 (below), the central lifting fuselage was still devoted to cargo load, not to engines:

Yes, I caught the difference. Thank you.

Thanks! The rocket-powered B-29R was more classical but still twin-boom:
-
Another goody from Tophe's Dream Factory.
Great
-
Thanks!
And even if the allied Normandy assault in 1944 has been a failure, part of the French empire was on the "good" side (according to authorized Historians), and the old Caudron C-714Z was completed by the brand new C-714TJ:
-
Like the B-29R I have a B29 on death row might do something on these lines
Thanks Tophe

Sorry Mog, my drawing was not good for building it actually: it was featuring 2 fins of reduced size instead of one normal fin.
To cure that, I present here a single-fin asymmetric jet-B-29... and I must add a zwilling derivative to match the title of this topic.
-
Hi Toph, thanks for that, first drawing was fine though, it fired an idea in my head for an old and battered kit that had already been built. I won't be doing anything just yet, but now I can add it to the growing To Do list that I keep on my phone. I hope you dont mind being my backup imagination. ;D ;D ;D

Thanks!
The Boeing 368 had been rejected with piston engine and was proposed again in 1946 with a turbojet... to be refused as well. ???

In 1946, Japan was still strong (dropping an atomic bomb on Los Angeles), but the Dutch East Indies were not occupied anymore (by this side). The Free Dutch Air Force used Fokker G-1J:
-
In December 1946 for urgent night-fighting duties were ordered 36,000 copies of P-61TJ, but this was cancelled after a few pre-production copies:
-
On the European Eastern Front, Allies were Soviet.
From the Belyayev DB-LK of 1940 came the twin-tail DB-LK2 in 1943, then the half-jet DB-LK3 in 1946:
-
After the failure in Normandy 1944, the South of France started to be freed in 1946, and local designers proposed to develop the Payen Pa.360.2 into a jet/piston compound:
-
That mixed propulsion concept is very intriguing, mon ami!
Once again your limitless imagination has me delighted!

Thanks!
More classical: the piston XP-56 was tested in 1943-45 then the P-56A was ordered as rocket plane:
-
That's a wonderful idea Tophe.
Those split tails really give it a futuristic look too!

Now that one looks really cool ! :icon_alabanza: :icon_alabanza:
