Hmm... I was convinced it was a Bell X-1, but it seems the shape of the top of the fin is wrong and the nose isn't pointy enough... And are those intakes beside the cockpit? OK, not exactly a Bell X-1 then...

Kluseau 6th Nov 2013 16:54

Perhaps a change of scale is called for. How about the Douglas XB-43 Jetmaster? More particularly the (possibly unbuilt) A-43 version with eight machine guns in a solid nose.

He said it was a project.

Therefore, in my book, it wasn't built.

I think it's something to do with quiet attack aircraft.

Bingo! :)

Thanks to Ken (Skytrain10)....

Well that proved suitably elusive... not! Well done.:)

Noyade 16th Nov 2013 19:28

Thanks Kluseau!

I'll say open house for the moment...
...but in the backgound, I'm looking for a silhouette.

Noyade 16th Nov 2013 19:52

I gave up on the silhouette.
A photo instead...

A Boeing...

Karlark 18th Nov 2013 00:17

I knew it looked familiar, P-12 monoplane; XF5B-1

Noyade 18th Nov 2013 08:39

Your control Karl.

Karlark 18th Nov 2013 11:52

Thanks Graeme, here's the next:

Hi Karl.

The Berliner-Joyce XF2J-1?

Karlark 18th Nov 2013 19:57


The Berliner-Joyce XF2J-1?
That is the one and only. :ok:

Your control Graeme.

Noyade 18th Nov 2013 20:31

Thanks Karl - Open House.

Good afternoon to everybody (or whatever the time is in your country)!
It looks tremendously like a Potez 25/47....
Cheers

Very close Carson. The second aircraft of this designation looked like this:
