in the new Tomb Raider movie, she'll have a river crossing, at the water fall, by running across a WW2 bomber wing that falls apart under her weight

  1. Looks like some composite aircraft to me: Long Nakajima Ki-49 engine nacelles, Mitsubishi G3M cockpit and top gunner's turret (moved forward), but the extended fuselage and the vertical tail surfaces I don't recognize. Not from a B-25, though. Note red roundel on side of fuselage.

    1. Ah hell, I was looking at the 2 engines, split tail, and just thought b 25... I didn't analyze it as close as you have!

    3. of course, they made it up in CGI, and I guess they took some liberties so they could create the scene they needed... with extra long wings

  2. First that did cross my mind was... Do 217?

  3. It looks like a mix between a b25 and a g3m because it has the glass nose of a b25 and the vertical rudders extended above and under the tail wing whereas the g3ms vertical rudders only extended above the wing
