Damn I know its a Republic late 1945 recon/experimental plane. Just cant remember the number. Close enough? Or no cigar? Very pretty thoug I think a more angular vertical fin would fit the design better. Very fast 400mph plus.  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

What a bunch of hard bastidges to stump  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Course it really steps over the line into post war aircraft. But I wasn't sure about that till aftr I posted. I'll stick to strictly war time only in the future.
