Haha, very imaginative- was one of the donor airplanes a P-38? That wing (and engine nacelles) is unmistakable XD
Y'know, I think I had read some time ago of somebody designing a prop airplane for the express purpose of exceeding the sound barrier with that kind of aircraft. Never did find out if they did or not.

It is a VERY cool design, but alas, it is IMPOSSIBLE for a propeller aircraft to breach Mach 1. It's very cool, but the overblown description rather ruins the verisimilitude.

Well, I am just saying it ruins that feeling of 'OMG, could she fly, 4REALS?!' It is still kick ass model, but it takes away some of the 'wow' factor. Still great work, nothing to complain about there.

A very, very nice model.
I mostly react to the story. Invented in 1948 and the fastest airplane in WW2, although WW2 ended 1945, and reaching speeds of Mach3 with propellers, which barely any jet fighter today can achieve?

exactly, it's all about the fact that if this plane was built by some Russian mad scientist who pushed every concept to the limit, thus making the most impossible flying machine ever!
