Typical way to model the B-36 is to turn the props (sometimes just 2 powered with 4 freewheeling) for power and hang the dummy turbine nacelles for looks.
We get far higher power:weight than the full scale with ease.
They tacked on the jet engines for the B-36 when they found out it couldn't carry a full bomb load to desired operational altitude on the power of the props. (and the extremely long takeoff run fully loaded wasn't very practical either)
