(Thanks Raafif:) here is the Twin-Spitacobra/3e:

Great! I love the extra assymetry on the Twin-Spitacobra/3e :)

Perhaps a "/3f" with two engiens per side but just a cockpit on one side? It would be a really hot interceptor.

Tophe · « **Reply #428 on:** May 27, 2013, 11:36:54 AM »

Thanks Apophenia!

While... here is the Supermayerle Twin-Spitacobra/4e, hot!:

Yowza! That's a powerful looking beast! :)

Thanks!

Demaizière-Joffrin preliminary designs:

Nice! For those not familiar with the original, pusher DJ.12: http://maquette72.free.fr/amis/Gaetan/2011_07_dj12/index07.php

Thanks Apophenia.
Here is the Dornier P.231 Entwurf2 and my E3...

I like the twin engined one.

Thanks.

And from http://longstreet.typepad.com/books/2010/11/wwii-aircraft-cross-sections.html
here is the Davis Davis (and a single-engined derivative of mine): UK-Davis airplane with a US-Davis huge gun...

Huh!
The Davis Non-Recoil Gun: shoots grenades from the front end and buckshot from the rear end (to make it recoilless)...

Tophe · « **Reply #436 on:** September 16, 2013, 01:05:03 AM »

Thanks for this detail.
And here are the derivatives of the Antonov LEM-2 planerlet. This was a motorglider flying wing before 1939, and its 1939-derivatives used an even smaller engine, as addition than all alone:

Tophe · « **Reply #437 on:** September 19, 2013, 11:38:07 AM »

As well: the Letov S56 design was dated before 1939, but the derivatives with in-line engines (asymmetrical or not) are dated 1939:

The Hamburger Ha-138 (then Blohm und Voss Bv-138) was as well designed before 1939, but all seems lies or propaganda about this, and here are the "Real" Ha-139, Ha-140, and asymmetric Ha-141, all designed in 1939 (like especially for my collection!):

The triplex-boomer "XP-56 with Auxiliary Wing" may be the source of two twin-boomers: one with tandem wings and no central fin, one still a tailless airplane somehow:

from ericr's great topic http://beyondthesprues.com/Forum/index.php?topic=3546.0 :

I have added the rest of the family: standard Do18, Mistel Do18 and the simplified Do18Z-2...

It is famous that an argument occured among Historians: was the Arado 530 just an Arado code or an official code with preliminary order? With secrecy now over, I can tell everything (beyond Reality):
- the E530 was an Arado project, twin-fuselage, with asymmetry in the pilot position
- the official Ar-530A was a twin-boom derivative featuring a free nose (P38-way) probably to send flowers to foreign aircraft
- the Ar-530B was coming back to twin-fuselage layout, with less asymmetry if ever one engine fails
- the Ar-530C went further with fuselage asymmetry of the Ar-530B

The huge Daimler-Benz Projekt C came from smaller designs:

Tophe · « **Reply #443 on:** September 29, 2013, 08:33:28 AM »

smaller and smaller indeed:

I was dissatisfied with my twin-boom Spitfires, looking like Spitfires no more. I had to try again:

Is this better?

apophenia · « **Reply #445 on:** September 30, 2013, 09:19:03 AM »

Very nice Tophe! Much more 'Spitty' :)

Tophe · « **Reply #446 on:** October 02, 2013, 12:13:36 PM »

Thanks a lot Apophenia.
I may do the same with the Mustang 51D, in a step by step way making the comparison easier:

ChernayaAkula · « **Reply #447 on:** October 02, 2013, 02:04:01 PM »

I like that P-51 P-2! :)

Tophe · « **Reply #448 on:** October 04, 2013, 12:44:24 PM »

Thanks ChernayaAkula!
Will you like also the turbojet version P-51TJ-2?

So many cool

slanting views in the last month. I have been remiss on commenting

Majority of symetric views I would like to build in styrene. Don't have time to, but WOW might get to a couple of them "someday".
