Here is a 1/3 scale B-25 built for two 400cc Moki radials. Now imagine what could be done with twice that much motor!

Here's a video of the B-25 during engine testing.

I sent a link to this Pacific Prowler r/c plane to the guy that owns the real Prowler. He loves this kind of stuff.

Heck of a project and beautiful work. Too bad they didn't spend more time on getting things correct, it's essentially a 'J' but with a B thru H narrow, turretless tailcone (how do you offset the shifted weight of the turret being moved?) and 429710 is at the end of a block of P-39N's, early style collector exhaust but Stromberg inlets. Instead of 'Pacific Prowler' they might want to change it to 'Hermaphrodite' geek
