No body pointed out that there is a bomber wingtip in the picture :evil:

Are those supposed to be BMW radials or Inline Jumos?

As you can read in the link I provided, it's based on two 190D-9, which means inline.

:airplane: I think it is the left wing tip and #1 engine of a B-24!

This is actually two b24s welded together with a jet engine between them. Hard to see because most of it is outside the picture.
-
The left wing is a B-17. Note how the leading edge is swept. Also how the engine is mounted in its normal position, whereas the B-24 mounted its engines sideways.

Bolting two planes together was an interesting concept and a fairly successful one. While no 190 Zwilling ever got off the drawing board the 109Z got into the prototype stage. The He 111Z was a success. As was the "P-51Z" the F-82 Twin Mustang.

Wonder how many "one finger salutes" were exchanged from one cockpit to another. :headscratch:
Hey Bob
What?
..I..

Uh…no.
The oval cowling is because the intake for the oil cooler is on one side while the turbocharger intake is on the other. Engine mounting/orientation is normal.

:airplane: Sorry Dave, but this is a B-24 wingtip and engine! The B-17 tapers more at the tip than the 24 and that is not a cowling covering a R-1830 engine. The B-17 engines had more "round" shaped cowling on the engines, and did not protrude from the leading edge like the 24 does.

i don't know lol mine had a jet engine too :rofl :neener:

Funny, but if the p-38 had a much* larger cockpit/gun pod, it would have made room for two intakes on the pod's side's, and a outlet for a jet engine in the rear of the pod.

It could be done. Saab 21 started like this:
