Came across this "beast". Cool what-if.....

That is so cool. I've read somewhere that every GB ever built, crashed. I don't know if that's 100% correct, but can you imagine taking one into combat?!?

it would have been fast, very good in turns, and yeah, probably crashed more than would have been shot down. But....

That’s a neat one Lyle

Yes, it is. It is on the way...I am weak.

Here's a model that I've had in my collection for a long time, and the magazine that inspired it, published in June 1984. The model was built by James Steele, probably at about that same time, using the Williams Brothers kit.

That is a good looking a/c!

Looks like a fun “what if?” project. Although by 1941, which the markings are for, I wonder how well it would have stacked up against the P-35, P-36, P-39, and P-40?
The P-35 was a racer design that actually saw service as a fighter, so why not this P-45B?

Could have been quite interesting!

Lol! that's a superb what-if!
