@JCobb look familiar?
@DragonAerotech And thank you.
@DragonAerotech heh, yeah, although mine are a good mix of different ideas with my own and some practice.
@TheOwlAce Somehow your' incarnation of the "Marbanian Bomber" has a more ... "Real" feel to it than those sketches.
@TheOwlAce I spotted also a bit behind the Airship inspiration! :D

@TheOwlAce Oh okay, DeviantArt. Yeah I've seen some real creative aircraft designs on there!! :D
@DragonAerotech Deviant art. Ill see if I can find it again.
@TheOwlAce What is "DA" aside from my sig on forum posts? XD
@DragonAerotech Well that was the principle I was going for but the design is from a fictional aircraft i saw on DA
Reminds me a bit of the Savoia-Marchetti S.55 & S.66, I think it was. Romania still had a few S.55s in their air force as late as '43. The Regia Aeronautica used S.66s for Search & Rescue but their S.55s were no longer serviceable and were kept in reserve.
