KC....it looks great!

Looking a good start KC , there is a 5 bladed turbo prop running Pratt and Whitney PT-6 , even a tri-motor variant

Interesting. Looks like the LH motor might be about to loose some blades!

Yeah, dont think the left engine took well to its new props. Looks interesting though

There was one in real life, i have some pics in a book somewhere. If i remember correctly, it had 2 Rolls Royce Nene Turbojets in pods on the underside of the wings.
