Douglas B-31

Now now, guys, don't expect speedy progress; since I'm not a very crack 3D Modeller; and I haven't really done any animation yet until now; but here's the results of a few hours of banging around:

 

Basically, this is Douglas' entry to the B-29 requirements -- it's even bigger than the B-29, and a later redesign had it emerging with R-4360s

Very interesting. I wonder if the twin bubble canopies would have surived to production. They usually don't.

 

I'm using the C-69 as possible rough standin for Republic R-12 Rainbow, 45k feet and 450+ mph.

I once saw one of the few remaining Douglas B-18s at Kurt Weeks' place in Homestead in the late 80s. Not sure if it survived Hurricane Andrew, though.
