Yes... This is not new idea.

However, the photo in GTX post shows the five-blade engine and I'm not sure is this a new engine on TR-301TB, or some new modification...

The first one I showed is the SibNIA (Siberian Aeronautical Research Institute) TVS-2MS which has a new all-composite high-lift, high-aspect-ratio wing, a new avionics suite and new TPE331 power plant.  You can get a better view of the wing arrangement here:



The second one is a variant of it and is the TVS-2DT and is indeed a monoplane:

I bet it sounds just like a Basler BT-67 too (which sounds like a Metroliner). I watched one land yesterday at YYC

Give the mono-plane retracts and it'd be a 'modern' variation on the Fairchild/Krieder-Reisner XC-31;

Is that "Gunship" AN-2 meant to represent the one used in the attack on the hilltop in Laos - Lima Site 85?   

A recent Osprey title claims downing of one or two attacking South Vietnamese patrol boats. Apparently they either issues with lock on or even seeing them on the radar that a Phantom crew claimed coming close enough to see the red cockpit lights.

I do like the monoplane version.

Or build fuselage as road driven school bus.
Aussie BTSers may be familiar with the "VH-DAK" bus, which provides a helpful precedent: https://youtu.be/nNwblLt89g8
