A shame you don't have a quartet of J7W Shindens, a C-130J, or an AirBus A400M to steal the propellers from. It would look so much better with unducted fan type propellers :)
I agree! Hoping the next version will incorporate them though. Might also make it more of an interceptor/fighter version as well. Counter rotating would also be good.
Not only a +10 for deviousness, but a fascinating design too, build it that way. The only thing spinning faster than the props is Kelly Johnson,
Somehow I think he's getting a laugh out of this though.
Little do we know that Tomcat' doesn't have the four radial engines glued down either and he's going to complete the model as a nautical theme with twin paddlewheels on each side....
Thank you, and they are taped and not glued. The backup if the props just "don't seem right" is to Jam a 1/48 F-14 engine face into the nacelles and call them "Super Jumo copies," Add canards up front and make it a jet fighter.
Thanks BDB and YSI!
I really think it captures that Wolfenstein/Indiana Jones/Deisel punk look... still not 100 percent though. The temptation of doing with some killer looking props like Uncle Jeffry suggested is really tempting but with a move coming up I don't want to order more models to pack (I have plenty to haul as it is...)
