The R-6 "Icarus" was developed by Consolidated (Convair) and Avro Canada in the late 40's as a high altitude reconnaissance aircraft. It flew operationally with the RCAF, USAF, RAF and RAAF. For a short period in the early 50's a few were leased to the French AF. They flew a number of successful missions during the Korean War. NASA acquired 3 of these in 1953 for high altitude missions, including photo mapping, air sampling, chase planes and other missions.

Wow did that ever finish up a treat!
That's one of the cleanest, sharpest, most unique builds I've seen in a while!
Well done, ed!

+1 to all previous comments. You would never know there is a B-24 somewhere in there.
Great job! :)

Make it another +1.
B-24 parts morphed away into R-6 Icarus.
