Nope, sorry guys...neither of those. Here is your final clue, and before anyone says "Canucks never flew THESE", you are right! They flew ONE! Check your references!

It's a Boeing B-47 missing the rear barbette...

Not at the moment Jim, got too much on trying to meet a deadline for the Halifax diorama. Post another one - something easy, like a never before seen unknown prototype maybe !!
