Boeing B-29 Superfortress ideas and inspiration
Daryl J.:
US Navy post war anti submarine variant: Shortened fuselage immediately fore and aft the wing. Belly radar. Overall Gloss Sea Blue, later variants have a gloss white upper surface. What to do with bomb bay modifications? I have no idea. :o That has yet to be thought through. Designation: PB-whatever. Serves well into the P-3 era.
USAF post war variant as a B-50 alternative: 4 turboprop engines (made by some U.S. appliance company...say Kelvinator or such) and swept tail surfaces not unlike the Bear. Tip tanks. Arctic scheme.

Something that could have been...I am actually tempted to model this up as an operational bird. Might do it as an in-flight diorama with the operational F-85A shown being either deployed or recaptured.

What if the R3350 took rather longer to wring the bugs out and the USAAF was forced to go with the W3420-powered B-39 instead?

Hmmm...does anyone do a conversion for that I wonder?
