This is my latest profile. During my research the engine to be used was a "Straight Eight" so instead of the four exhaust ports on each side of the fuselage, I put all eight on the right side. I believe that all of the exhaust ports are on the same side of the engine, but I had to choose a side, so depending on which way the engine was to be installed, would determine which side the the ports would be on. So did I guess right? Probably not
, but I went with it anyway. I did a right side profile to show the exhaust. Since the flying/landed top profiles are virtually the same I only did the one. I colored it as if had been sent to Wright Field for evaluation. Amazing enough when trying to find a serial number that I could use for it I found out that 41-004 had been reserved for the XP-57 by the USAAC!!
