How about something 'old airplane' related ...

... smoke a peace pipe perhaps ...

I thought this was an interesting concept. Doubtful one ever went further than this mockup though. Interesting idea that most likely wasn't needed.

And how about this Iranian Curtiss H-75A. Now there's a country you better not disrespect their flag ... :|

The top aircraft will have an awfully high wing loading.
But, you'll be able to fit a bunch of them on a carrier.

I love that Hawk! Modelers, note the zinc chromate overspray pattern around the baggage door - looks like they flipped open the lid, stuck the gun in and sprayed.
Don't bother looking around Iran for one - the RAF captured all ten while still crated and used them in India; per Wiki so please feel free to correct me.

I wonder what the thought behind the single place Helldiver was.

Didn't need the gunner? Note it does have a window back there though. If it was single-place, I wonder why?

The more I look at it, it looks like a Skyraider wannabe!
