Hi my friends! Here my build of XB-42 Mixmaster. A fast project made in my small winter vacation (in south hemisphere of course), nice and simple model, the original is in 1/48 scale, but I reduce to 1/100. The model is from Oddball and avaliable in Ecardmodels.com.

Nice build of an unusual plane.

Actually a derivative of Luft 46 projects.

I always wondered why separate the flight crew in separate cockpits and canopies?

I'm not sure, because the design of the XB -42 date of 1943 , about canopy the main purpose of it was to reduce the drag to be as fast as possible , one way was to eliminate the step in the fuselage produced by the canopy and hide engines within the fuselage. The fact is that the XB- 42 is a truly American design . Of course in wartime espionage there , but I do not know if this was the case .
