Bell P-59 Airacomet
The Bell P-59 Airacomet was a single-seat, twin jet-engine fighter aircraft that was designed and built by Bell Aircraft during World War II, the first produced in the United States. As the British were further along in jet engine development, they donated an engine for the United States to copy in 1941 that became the basis for the General Electric jet used by the P-59 a year later. Underpowered, the United States Army Air Forces was not impressed by its performance and canceled half of the original order for 100 fighters, using the completed aircraft as trainers. Although no P-59s entered combat, the aircraft paved the way for later generations of U.S. turbojet-powered aircraft.

Can i make a Modification of it? Like a Fictional Company modifies it to be reliable again even after 10-40 Years?
@ACEPILOT109 that’s what I meant. It would be hilarious if that was used to fool spies and they fell for it.
@FerretAeronautics
Fake, its supposed to make spys think its not a jet
Is that picture with the fake propellor real? If so that’s hilarious
Very great replica
Lol
@MentallyDistorted
literally they make a shape that looked like prop plane, very impressive camo
yoo
@RussianAce Thank you fellow Ace
Noice
You should've waited for the cockpit gauges update!
Very sexy, nice work my friend
That prop decoy is hilariously smart.
Looks great. The one thing I would do though is if you add an actual cockpit, make the fuselage pieces that make the shape of the cockpit have smooth front and backs and then rotate them 90 degrees so that the front and back parts of the pieces will connect to each other thus will form a smooth fuselage. If you need to know what I am talking about, look at my b-17 bomb bay
