damn, first guess. Well guess this one....

I would say a miniaturized "airframe" of a Dornier Alphajet mounted on a motorcycle, though not entirely to scale, and with added "supports".

P-262 MKI Thunderkitty. It doesn't have the hair dryer in the front, and has .50 cals mounted in the nose, rather than the 30mm cannons, as it would if it were a MKIII.

If it were the P-262 MKII it would look like this:

P-262A Thunderkitty. The numerical designation may be wrong, but the A part is correct, as it doesn't have the hair dryer in the front, and has .50 cals mounted in the nose, rather than the 30mm cannons.

Swallow unless they had different names for different models....

That isn't the famed ME-262, its the P-262 Thunderkitty... Dont worry, they are easy to confuse, so here are the specs:



The Curtiss P-262 Thunderkitty was produced by integrating stolen, then retrofitted German jet technology into the existing airframe of the P-40 KittyHawk.  Substantial hardening of the airframe was required to produce the P-262, and while a 3 engine version was built and flown only as a prototype, the 2 engine version saw over 250 produced, and were assigned to squadron duty in the Pacific theatre starting in February of 1945.

Suprisingly, the P-40 airframe adapted quite well to the jet technology, and was later used as a test plane during testing for the F-86 Sabre… which was based almost completely upon its design.

General characteristics

•   Crew: 1
•   Length: 31.67 ft (9.66 m)
•   Wingspan: 37.33 ft (11.38 m)
•   Height: 12.33 ft (3.76 m)
•   Wing area: 235.94 ft² (21.92 m²)
•   Empty weight: 4,404 kg (9,709 lb)
•   Loaded weight: 7,130 kg (15,720 lb)
•   Max takeoff weight: 6977 kg (15,381 lb
•   Powerplant: 2Χ Lockheed Martin 004 B-1 turbojets, 8.8 kN (1,980 lbf) each

Performance

•   Maximum speed: 900 km/h (559 mph)
•   Range: 650 mi (560 nmi, 1,100 km)
•   Service ceiling: 11,450 m (37,565 ft)
•   Rate of climb: 1,200 m/min (3,900 ft/min)
•   Thrust/weight: 0.28

Armament

•   Guns: 5 Χ .50 in (12.7 mm)
•   Cannons: 2 Χ 37mm Cannon
•   Bombs: 250 lb (113 kg) to 1,000 Ib (453 kg), a total of 2,000 lb (907 kg) on three hardpoints (one under the fuselage and two underwing)

Are we really going to play another name that plane/vehicle game?  If so, I'll have to go find Cthulhu, OldSport, and some of the others and we'll show you how it's done.   :aok

I do miss those days we had fun going on for a few weeks naming obscure aircraft.
