Description The finished product after two weeks!

Beginning in 1951, two XB-47Ds were modified from B-47Bs as purely experimental platforms, with a big Wright YT49-W-1 turboprop engine spinning a huge four-paddle prop, replacing each of the inboard two-jet pods. Difficulties with engine development delayed first flight of the XB-47D until 26 August 1955. The aircraft's performance was comparable to that of a conventional B-47, and its reversible propellers shortened the landing roll, but the USAF did not follow up the idea.

Ever do a P-38? I have two signed Richard Groh prints (this is one: [link] ) and they hold a place of honour in my office.

That's a really good drawing of a P-38! I love WWII planes! And if I have time, I would consider doing one.

Yeah, he's one of my favorite artists, his P-38s are incredible, it's not an easy aircraft to draw.

Very cool,this is a beautiful plane ! I would love to see one in reality, but what I want to do most is to hear the sound of a xf84 thunderscreech!

From what I heard on the internet, it's the loudest and most annoying piston engine sound you will hear xP
