Very nice!!  It looks like one of the iterations that lead to the Dash-80.

1950s and 1960s in one aircraft.  Guess 450-500 mph speed.  Another inspiring combo like to borrow from.  8)

Muromets is in stash.  Unsuccessfully pondered how to modify it without success.  Your clever build opens concepts.  Looking right in its own way  :smiley:

it is the beginning of a new series, which will be circular (i.e., come back at the Muromets in the end)





with an WACS which gives a hint at the following ...  ;)

Wow - the Canberra with turboprops really looks good! I wonder what it would look like with Il-28 wings and engines.

Beautiful!!  Looks somewhat like a developed AJ-1 Savage but not as extreme as the A2J-1.

That is fantastic! The Hawkeye tail really works for '30s French  :smiley:

Although your creation isn't especially high aspect ratio, for some reason this mélange says 'Hurel-Dubois' to me  :smiley: :smiley:

Excellent matchup from decades apart aircraft.  Never would have thought of it.  Am learning from your eye for combos.   :smiley:
