The FMA I.Ae. 26 D-600 was a postwar design for an interceptor proposed by French designer Émile Dewoitine (hence the "D" in D-600) after he migrated to Argentina in the late 1940s. It was canceled in favor of developing the Pulqui I jet fighter. I used a scheme similar to the one used by the Curtiss Hawks then in service.

Taking a turn for the obscure pretty quickly

Side views are strongly preferred, and I think you've been taken in by a fake.

This is fascinating, and yes, it has the Dewoitine 'look'. And the engine? By the exhaust and cowel shape it does look like a Daimler Benz.

It's probably a Hispano-Suiza 12X.

Nope, just Googled it and it seems it was the Merlin III.

An offical history of FMA that I have a PDF copy of has more info on the D-600.
"(Designed by engineer Emile Dewoitine) conventional fighter aircraft with optional powerplant, Rolls Royce Merlin III in 1030 HP or Daimler Benz DB 601-A twelve-cylinder inverted 1,100 HP (was going to be provided by Spain). The project is cancelled by the B-700 (I.Ae.27) PULQUI I. Features: 10.20 m wingspan; long 8.90 m; inboard wing 15,92 m; weight empty 2090 Kg; weight total 2740 Kg; maximum speed 560 Km/h; roof theoretical 10000 m; reach 1400 Km; planned armament Canyon HS-404 of 20 mm, four machine guns caliber 7.50 mm M-39 (MAC - model 1934)."

Great work Kilomouse, an intereting subject.

Thanks Hood

IMHO the drawing shows the inverted Daimler Benz, as it so close in outline to German and Italian designs that used this excellent engine.

Wow. Big russian bomber.... Well stealth usually means aerodynamic.... if they did make those, all we'd have to do is find them, put a a few rounds at the junction where the wing meets the body.... Speed will do the rest.
