jzichek Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 A new article reproducing a Curtiss-Wright proposal for a turboprop fighter-bomber conversion of the XF-87 Blackhawk is now up at RetroMechanix.com: The proposal includes numerous drawings of various ordnance and gun combinations, along with a recce version. Also included are 3 photos of the original XF-87, one of the most handsome aircraft of its day. The accompanying gallery features 19 images, the majority in high resolution. Would make for an interesting conversion project in scale model form! -Jared Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
