Beautiful!!  Looks like it should exist (though I suspect riding in it would be noisy with the prop tips passing so close to the fuselage).

aha ! I hadn't thought of that : maybe anothe plastic egg will be used ...  ;)

Or you could just cheat with Photoshop  ;)

I present the rarely-photographed E.G.G. Mk.II - a twin-engined, push-pull derivative. (Note the variable-incident tailplane introduced on the Mk.II.)

Your Neptune-Privateer is flippin' brilliant by the way  :smiley: :smiley:

It’s amazing how well those Neptune wings fit the Privateer fuselage! Great job!

With those turboprop engines this aircraft would have an amazing top speed!
Well done!

Beautiful!!  That looks far better than the RL turboprop versions Russia and China have done.

Comparison:

  • This creation:  presumably 4 × Allison T56-A-14 turboprop engines, 4,910 shp (3,660 kW) each
  • Standard B-29: 4 × Wright R-3350-23 Duplex-Cyclone 18-cylinder air-cooled turbosupercharged radial piston engines, 2,200 hp (1,600 kW) each and max speed of 357 mph (575 km/h, 310 kn)
  • B-54 (Most developed real world B-29 derivative): 4 × Pratt & Whitney R-4360-51 radial piston engines with turbines, 4,500 hp (3,400 kW) each and proposed top speed of 430 mph (690 km/h, 370 kn)

The B-29/Electra/Orion combination looks very convincing.  Same can be said for the Neptune/Liberator combination.  Very good kit bashing all around!
