Those B-16s are simply amazing, Nighthunter. I'd have gone a slightly different direction with the tail/fuselage join, but even so, the end result is awesome.
For my Misc AU fighter, I cobbled together a variety of parts, the Mitsubishi A5M Claude forming the basis, with the tail of a Severski P-35, the canopy of a neverbuild Spanish fighter, and lastly the cowling from an Aarado 196. What was surprising was how well the pieces joined together to give a different flavored aircraft. At the time, I was interested in fighters with fixed landing gear, so kept that feature. The fighter was originally intended for a non-Earth setting.
I do agree, it does look rather much like the PZL-45, through an odd coincidence. I was thinking of giving it similar armament, two .30 in cowling, and two in the wings. The uprated version would have had 4 x .30s, all in the wings.
