And flyboyj, yes, of course it's a P-30. Interesting plane though, first production USAAC fighter with a turbo, retractable gear, and a closed canopy. Though the AAC (rightly) questioned the usefulness of the rear gunner. And it was easy, I have some better ones coming though.

Country: | Specifically the last YP-59A built, and the only one using the immproved armament (3x .50 in and a 37mm cannon instead of the 2x 37mm M4 cannons of the other YP's) which would be used on all subsequent models. (first tested on this model)
Now how about this one? Or the one below it, very similar apearance, but completly unrelated. | |

Country: | Paper project No.1 is the original XP-59 which was a continued development of the XP-52.
Paper project No.2 is a Soviet design.  | |

Country: | Yup These are too easy for you guys, and to think people were struggling with the L-133 sketch earlier in the thread...
And compared to Bell's competitor's designs, the XP-54 XP-55 and XP-56, the XP-59 might have been the only sucessful one, but I guess we'll never know (in any case it would have likely outperformed the P-59A)... Though it looks like it would have been easy to redesign to a jet using a J-33 or Lisesced Goblin engine, the biggest change would probably have been rasing the tailplane.
