What the Hell is That? Soviet Push-Pull or Kurowashi?

[Romantic Technofreak]

Catch of the day. I mean, it is fake, like the Kurowashi probably is itself. Somebody with limited graphic abilities created anohter chimera.

If you like to comment, please do so.

is that F-4E nose photoshopped on it…?
and winglets look like those on soviet B-25 or BI.

AFAICS the starboard undercarriage leg doesn't actually connect to the structure, and all the wheels give me the impression they were trimmed off a picture of something on the ground. Plus if you connect any pair of points on the two main gears the resulting line isn't remotely parallel to the wing.

Definitely looks like an F-4E nose on front, combined with a Do-335 front fuselage. Tail is probably a Pe-2 and so is the wing with a lot of crude photoshopping like the added winglets. Not sure about the landing gear. I'm fine with people creating silly mash-up of things like that but these days I wouldn't be horribly surprised if some clickbait outlet features the image on some mostly AI-written article about top secret Soviet superweapons or whatever. It's obviously fake but even the obvious ones seem to somehow get around with people claiming it is some real thing these days.

It can go the other way, too. I've just spotted a facebook channel 'Cancelled Aircraft', recycling the Vickers 75 ton Bomber Scheme C illo from the front of Tony Buttler's BSP: Fighters and Bombers 1935 to 1950, and people claiming it's clearly an AI mashup.

(It didn't help that the OP claimed it was the 'Vickers Victory', but still....)

This looks better than most AI efforts to be fair.

People really got to go to Specsavers!

The Phantom nose was a dead giveaway!
