Request: Consolidated B-32 Dominator - European Snake - 20.04.2010
Well, somebody just shot my other request out of the sky for size concerns. Well, how about this one? The B-32 Dominator. The last aircraft engaged in combat during WWII.
What do y'all think?

Ugg! This is NOT a Beaufort/Hampden thread! Can we PLEASE stay ON topic?!?

It'd be easy to make a franken out of this. B29 fuselage, tail and engines, B24 nose, cockpit ,wing and turrets. After all it does look like the love child of a B24 and a B29. I vote yes

Thank you...
Oh, it'd be a B-17 nose and a B-24 cockpit.

Definitely YES!!
And for sure yes to the other planes mentioned, too.
- azzmunky - 20.04.2010
I think an H8K1 nose would suit it better
:wink:

A couple of facts regarding the B-32. This plane saw limited combat in only the last months of WWII.
First, only 118 were produced and only six were operational during the last two months of the war. Actually it would have been seven, except one crashed on takeoff on its first sortie.
These aircraft shot down three (confirmed) and probably got four more without losing any to enemy action

4./JG53_Howlin Wrote:no offence meant by earlier post, but as to this being a fraken plane, lads surly by now you all know that a fraken is not the answer as it makes accurate and detailed skinning stupidly hard.
Not a permanent answer,no. Simply a stopgap solution until one can be modeled from scratch. This was done with the MiG-15 if I remember correctly. It could also be done with the Beaufort, considering it's resemblance to the Blenheim.
