Marvellous job Guy, that is one of your best yet :thumbsup:

Good job Womby.  Albeit in the wrong scale.

Those 3/4 frontal shots remind me of something ? Possibly some of the latter Curtis proposals/prototypes ? I need to go and look at the Anigrand part of the stash.

Curtiss XP-62, although that has a contra prop.
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.
