That was fast
Congratulations, your turn

This thread has 3 days dead, let's relive it
More than one day is open house.

Guess this!

The counter-rotating props seem to be a three-blade vs a four-blade, but I haven't found any such configuration for the Douglas xTB2D Skypirate as it looks like 

[locopiston]

Is an optical effect ... the hidden blade is just above the nose

Yes it's the Douglas XTB2 D-2 Skypirate.

Prototype to replace the avenguer, the counter-rotating propellers are for face the torque and thus be able to launch stable the torpedoes.
The plane have the same size and weight as the B-25

Post a photo  to see the two propellers of four counter-rotating blades stopped.



Your turn sniperton!

[SAS~Storebror]

That plane's a beast, thanks for choosing it loco
I love the "corncob" engine

[max_thehitman]

That is one amazing looking airplane. I never knew about this one.
 It looks big too.

[sniperton]

Yep, it's a real beast 

This one should be fairly easy:

[tooslow]

It's a Curtiss SC-1 Seahawk as delivered by Curtiss.  Some were refitted to a floatplane configuration and used at the very end of WWII by a few US warships.

Here's an airplane I'd love to see in IL2, but it hasn't been modeled yet ...




Any idea's to what type it is and what nationality it is?

[sniperton]

Yes, it's the Curtiss SC-1 Seahawk, mostly used as a float recon plane towards the end of the war, but delivered in a land configuration to units using it most of the time, as can be seen here in my pic. But I guess the plane you uploaded in your 2nd post is a different one. Anyway, the baton is yours, tooslow.

[locopiston]

It looks like the French Bloch 152 ... but it is less developed, with very small wheels and a smooth bonnet ...
Salute to storebror!
 i have more "corn cob"

[tooslow]

You are close as it is French, but this is no Bloch.
