This is a two seater? I can't see that these are the same cockpits?
The lower fuselage shape looks odd to me, the frames look as if it is a concave chine meeting at a keel, a la flying boat. Or, on second thoughts, one side of a bifurcated jet inlet?
The profile of the exterior is odd too, blended into the fuselage in a way that doesn't suggest piston technology. The fuselage seems to be sitting very "deep" in the rest of the structure. Flush riveted. It has a gun.
Early jet?
