Initial thoughts went A-10 > Pucara (then noted a high wing?) > Bronco.
Now going with Convair Charger.

Noyade has it with the Convair Model 58 Charger, an unsuccessful bidder for the COIN contract won by the Bronco.

As Uncle Roger would say: “WIHIHH?”



Noyade has the con.

I was going to suggest Westland Wyvern with second prop artfully hidden but not sure, tail plane looks too high set for starters.

First thoughts were Martin Mauler,but closer inspection would be the Kaiser-Fleetwings XTBK-1.....Of which there is not a lot of complimentary information..

OH ...again ,if correct....

I believe that post-modern Flea is the Croses EC-6 Criquet. He also designed the EC-9 Para-Cargo Croses Para-Cargo
At which point I hope someone thought the joke had gone far enough.

If I'm right, Open House in the fullness of time.

Slight thread drift. Why does the JJ-1 have its inlets so far forward?

Cheers Beamr. I was very lucky with that one. No idea why the intakes are so far forward or why the vertical fin seems so incredibly tall.
Initially I thought it may have been the Fiat G.80.

The tail of the JJ-1 seems to be inspired by the Fokker S-14, looking at the way the horizontal stabilizer is mounted. Did they just copy the size as well?

Looks very much like 'Britain First' (aka Bristol type 142, which became the Blenheim). Withdraw that, the undercarriage looks wrong
