Weird... Great piece of imagination and building...
Will you explain why in-line engines? (while the Japanese preferred almost always radials, at last)
And are the 2 engines aft of the cockpit, as the exhausts seem to show?

The meds are wearing-off again aren't they, bud.... Dr. Caroline will authorize a new batch and I'll be around next week with 'em.... In the meantime, perhaps it would be an idea for somebody to put the x-acto knife 'in a safe place'

Yes, the People demand further details!

Where are the engine(s) located?
Need more pics, too, please.

Very cool, sleek-looking concept.

Gentlemenz..were getting ahead of ourselves.

You are correct the twin engines are buried  deep in the fuselage ,three exhaust outlets, two large (one each side) and one common to both engines on the underside.  Inline engines aft of cockpit  and 30mm cannon based on captured P 39,s.

Now wait nicely my pretties for the whole sorry story.

This was a sketch taken by a USAAF freelance pavement artist (Top Sgt Walter Mitty) during a B-30 raid on Shimiyerwazit and only came to light after a lifetime collection of corn plasters was sold at Southerbies (Orkney)

That is bloody awsome Dork, looks spot on.  How about some license buitl X4 AAM on the next one. Those should be pretty good at killing B29's
