    I just did a picture search for it but could not find one like it, it is definitely a Flying Sub knock off, with the wheels and the two thrust tubes on the sides. Where did you find that?

          Love it too. I like the bogie landing gear set up more in the earlier photo in this thread., Like the original B-36 prototype had the single humongous single tires for the main landing gear before sensibly redesigning to bogies too. But on the other hand, the large radius wheel be useful rolling oh a sandy sea bottom ala NR-1 Simon Lake like...lol
