How about a Prowler-like EB-51 for the first Gulf War?

Any of the B-57 users might prove to be a good B-51 operator. I for one plan to do a PAF B-51.

I was thinking of a B-51E to fly in place of F-105s in the Vietnam War. J57s to replace the J47s and two Vulcan 30x113mm in the cheeks and a radar in the nose. With night attack capability similar to the A-6 lots of bombs and an awesome strafer. Flying NOE to avoid the MiGs and SAMs. With green-green-black wrap around schemes you could call them the Martin B-51E "Black Panther".

Rebooting this thread.
I have surplus J57s from my AMT EC-135N. So swap out the pods engines and leave the tail J47.
3x J47 = 15,600 lbs thrust
2x J57 + 1x J47 = 28,600 lbs thrust

I wonder what a B-51 equivalent to the WB-57F would look like?
