So I'm all for for a B-36 construct (oversize B-29 mod ?), because that would
be VERY, VERY, VERY nice goody addition to 1946. It would make Ficon(s) possible.... Smile

Notice the B-29 underside appear painted black !
I'm surprised that the B-36 has only three blades props on top photo. Strange.

( I also want that tractor in my farming items collection, LOL ). :wink:

The top photo is the XB-36, the production models had four wheel lading gear. And having the propellers facing the rear prevented prop turbulence over the wings (which were 7 feet thick at the root). I did get the privilege to see one up close this past weekend while I was visiting the National Museum of the United States Air Force in Dayton. My camera died, so I was not able to get any good shots of it.

Also, I read talk about the XF-85 Goblin, which was intended to be carried in the bomb bay of the B-36.
