Congratulations EricR, you have managed once again to bring balance to a tail dragging design. The nose wheel works very well with this subject. I wish it were this easy in 1:48th scale.

ah right indeed ! trying alternative engines can be a fun game : I have a few radials and others in the spares box :
maybe this can also participate in stash reduction by applying the trick to old kits

so, the BV222 flying boat with B52 wings was shown there :
http://beyondthesprues.com/Forum/index.php?topic=5391.msg171907#msg171907
and the reciprocal was an obvious thing to try :
and sometimes those systematic schemes lead to something slightly more strange than expected.
In this case, it looks a bit like an ekranoplan ?

Hey, another that works in its own way.
Suspect a center of gravity issue. Yes, turrets would help.

That's not too bad and it really does need a lot of gun turrets like an Manga/Anime creation
Mind you it really looks like it should've been given the "Rutan" treatment
you know wings at the back tailplanes/canards at the front.

ah yes the canard configuration could have been better, I can see it now : next time maybe?

Very nice! The DC-6 fuselaged one has a real British Aerospace ATP look about it
The Transall-fuselage one is more like the early Weserflugzeugbau 4-engined AT 180 study ... yeah, I know, that last one's more than a little obscure
