Can't be.. the B36 had a round fuselage, this is DEFINITELY oblong (narrow and tall).

P.S. The largest plane was the Spruce Goose, and it did have 8 engines. This is definitely NOT it :) The 'Goose was a behemoth inside and out.

I dont' think so, because the 323 was sort of like the Spruce Goose -- wide in body, to accomodate the cargo, and narrow in the flight deck. Plus if I remember the 323 was mostly steel tubing construction? Doesn't appear that's what this picture is made of.

The 323 was built like a glider.
The B36 flight engineers sat side by side looking out thier own rear view windows to watch the engines.

The xc-99, bv 222 and JU 390 dont have rectangular windows on the front right fuselage for the flight engineer.
hmm.

I thought the Me-323 actually had 6 engines :huh

The problem with this picture is, that you can't tell wether it's fuselage is round or oblong, since the door could very well not be positioned in the middle, but near the side

So maybe this could just be a round fuselage, thus the B-36?

No, you can tell it's oblong. It's definitely not round. Look at the arch near the top of the bulkhead with the door, and then compar to the arc of the wall itself. It's an apogee.
