Two small niggles:
(1) the P-29 (Model 264) was never a two-seat fighter design, nor was its predecessor the (XF7B-1) Model 273,
yes, the XF7B-1 predated the P-29 yet had a higher model number.  Both models had an enclosed cockpit
faired into the spine when first flown, (see top profile in drawing) and both had a variety of cowlings at various
times including full N.A.C.A. types.



(2) the actual XP-32 (Model 278A) was not a version of the Model 264, Wikipedia gets that from Jones U.S. Fighters
but he was wrong, Bowers' Boeing Aircraft since 1916 includes a 3-view, see below.



BTW the landing gear on the P-36/P-40 series was also a Boeing design.

Did I ever proclaim that this build was a model of the real P-32?
