Apr 23 at 16:41 comment added quiet flyer Some issues w/ the Super Electra idea are given in this comment aviation.stackexchange.com/questions/104828/…. Another issue is the cockpit windscreen shape-- see how the Super Electra windscreen comes to a much sharper point on the aircraft centerline. (The same could be said of the DH 91 Albatross, to a lesser degree.) Honestly I think it's kind of a tossup as to whether the artist drew any inspiration for the fuselage from from the Super Electra specifically, or not.
