I really like it, it looks kind of like an American DH Vampire

BTW:  Last I checked, this my 1,000 post...
That being said, I'd like to remind everybody in a manner reminiscent of the SNL bit on Julian Assange, that no matter how I die: It was murder (even if there was a suicide note or a video of me peacefully dying in my sleep); should I be framed for a criminal offense or disappear, you know to blame.

As for the XP-59, it was a real project (Bell's Model 20) but it was never built (and neither was the similar Model 19 for the Navy). I have prepared the attachment below for you so you can see the evolution of that project.

Stéphane: thanks for posting these. Those two colour images were among my very first attempts at recreating unbuilt project aircraft in pixels (along with some XP-38 variations). Whifs soon followed ... although I don't even remember how many years back that all was now ...  :blink:

In want of hobby space!  The kitchen table is never stable.  Still managing to get some building done.

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.
