Iy looks like something out of Batman especially with the trailing edge of the sponson that the piggyback ship is attached to.  Very cool!!

Douglas Model 1186-C Long Range Special Attack Aircraft - scratchbuilt in 1/48th!
Posted by RetroMechanix on Monday, May 16, 2011 7:36 PM

Check out this article on Dan Swiersz's magnificent scratchbuilt 1/48th scale Douglas Model 1186-C Long Range Special Attack Aircraft at RetroMechanix.com:

For those not familiar with the design, this was a study for a composite long range supersonic attack aircraft designed to operate from the original USS United States super carrier; more details can be found in this book. The article, which originally appeared at the Aircraft Resource Center, has been reworked with additional photos and commentary; it now features 29 photos of the construction process and finished model, which is approximately 26 inches long. Amazing and inspirational work!
