You mean Bell's Model 16 (XP-52) project?I found photos of the mockup of the Model 22 naval version of the Bell XP-59 twin-boom pusher fighter project at this link:

The XP-52 and XP-59 (the latter not to be confused with the P-59 Airacomet jet fighter) were both twin-boom pusher fighter projects, but differed in minor fuselage details but also the powerplant. The XP-52 was to use a Continental IV-1430, while the XP-59 would have used a Pratt & Whitney R-2800. As explained at the Secret Projects Forum, XP-52 was the Bell Model 16, while XP-59 was Bell's Model 20 (just as the Model 22 was to be the naval version of the XP-59, Bell proposed a naval version of the XP-52, the Model 19, which remained a paper project like the Model 22). The mockup in the photo on post #320 differs from the XP-52 in the nose design and is clearly the XP-59 (Model 20)/Model 22. The XP-52 was cancelled in October 1940 and replaced by the XP-59, which too didn't leave the drawing board.You mean Bell's Model 16 (XP-52) project?

Yep - I guess it's easier for some to scrounge around on wiki than it is to use this site's search feature OR actually going through the thread in it's entirety so one does not post what's already been posted.Talking to yourself again Dave? View attachment 568106
