Yep… and I could have “sanitized” the image info by running it through my photobucket page, but I really wasn’t trying for a big-time production.
I just thought this was sufficiently outlandish to bring into the light of day.
Although I really like Creaking Door‘s response.
Here’s the later, enlarged proposal… 6 Allison V-1710 engines!

I’m going to say it’s a Bell concept… (my original though was Lockheed – but the pushers and guns in nacelles just sorta scream beefed-up Airacuda)
(edit)
But then I right-clicked to view image and saw Martin XB-16 in the image name… so I guess I was ‘FUBAR’d from the get-go.

If it’s not a p*** take, then it looks like a early Martin design.

What happens when a P-38 and a B-17 get drunk on prom-night?
