Here is a three view pics of the FM-13.

It should be noted that in some sources the project is being described as a supersonic (1.5 Ma) fighter that was to be a Lim-family (licenced built MiG-15s and 17s) replacement, similar in performance to the MiG-19.
Obviously the FM-13 that we know now was to be nothing more than an experimental/research aircraft, probably intended as a test-bed for a tailless, "delta" (actually its wing didn't have delta configuration as F-102/106 or Mirage III) configuration.
It's possible that what the designers (and the commanders of the Polish air force) had in mind was a Lim replacement, but there is no information on such a project available in Polish sources. Maybe they will appear some day...

Thank you my dear Petrus for FM-13,

Hi,

the Polish Institute of Aviation modified the FM-12 into MD-12,and the MD-12/2 was
a twin engined low-mid-wing medium transport monoplane Project,led to develop the
MD-12/4,later known as MD-12.
