I don't know about John but Dave is not interested in developing what he has for the civilian airport diorama. He's too busy designing tanks and armoured trucks.

Another 1 day design. This is a lesser known variant of a famous WWII plane.

An XP-47J? You might find some fun fantasy paint schemes on this thread that might fit it:

XP-72 Super T-bolt

I'm actually happy somebody was able to identify it without a bunch of clues. That means I got the shape right

Actually, I found quite a few while researching the plane:

This is the actual plane as built. I'm gonna need to find the nose art though

I liked these

I'd like to see you design this, Murph, especially in 1/48.

Will Aldrich designed a 1/33 bubbletop version of the later XP-72, which Yankee Boy built and 3Turner worked on:
XP-72 Super T-bolt
XP-72 Super T-bolt
Will Aldridge's XP-72 Super T-bolt (2 frames)
