http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P-63_Kingcobra

# P-63D One aircraft (43-11718) powered by an Allison V-1710-109 (E22) 1425 hp featured a ten inch increase in span to 39 feet 2 inches, gross area being increased to 255 square feet and, most noticeably, a rearward-sliding bubble canopy. The series was cancelled in 1945.
# P-63E Essentially similar to the P-63D with the exception of a ventral fin extension and the use of a standard "cab"-style cockpit; only 13 built.


Very rare I suppose :roll:

Here's more from jbaugher:

http://home.att.net/~jbaugher1/p63_6.html
Specification of Bell P-63D Kingcobra:
Powerplant: One Allison V-1710-109 (E22) water-cooled engine rated at 1425 hp for take off.

http://home.att.net/~jbaugher1/p63_7.html
P-63E 42-11727/N9003R (a former Honduran machine) was displayed for years at the Pima Air and Space Museum in Tucson, Arizona painted in Soviet markings. It is now painted in US markings. P-63E serial number 43-11728 is on display at the WPAFB Museum in Dayton, Ohio.

The serial numbers of the P-63Es that were completed were as follows:

43-11720/11721 Bell P-63E-1 Kingcobra
43-11725/11735 Bell P-63E-1 Kingcobra

Specification of Bell P-63E-1 Kingcobra:

I was jsut wondering as I stumbled across this engine in the hangar the other day and I thought it might be left over from my P-63E's.

Hi Brian,
It's a shame you didn't keep those Cobra's.
How's the FG-1 coming???
Did you get the VMF-213 photos I sent you??

So what else is in the Hanger? Engine wise, looking for a qec -59B, Allison would be nice too though not at 30k.

The P-63 is one of my favorite planes but I had too many projects and they had to go.
The Corsair is have some serious sheet metal parts built for the wing spar right now. It's eating me out of house and home right now. I have to sell some stuff to keep it fed.
Yes, I got the 213 photos thanks. Still considering the paint job.
