One of the funniest political hoaxes I've seen is the M-50 nuclear powered bomber hoax. On December 1, 1958, Aviation Weekly published an article featuring pictures of a supposed "Nuclear Powered Bomber." Obviously intended to scare the living crap out of the American People as well as make good profits, the article forever immortalized the M-50 Bounder in the Aviation Hoax hall of fame (What, there are like only five or so in this category?).
Aaaaanywho...I've decided to do a model of this badass aircraft in two versions. The first will be the accurate, diesel-powered M-50, while the second version will be a humorous take on the hoax, with cold war propaganda sprayed all over the sheets! I'll keep y'all posted as the week progresses.
