I would like to see those photos especially around the engine inlets which blended smoothly to the wings and also had a boundary layer separator
Here is a picture of the actual plane and inlet

The canopy was also in line with the fuselage ( not raised as in later production versions ).
Hopefully the kit will be available back on Ecard site.

Issac,
Look here at the Relunctant Robot version.
1/32 Bell XP-59 Airacomet Reluctant Robot and Bare Metal Paper Model – Ecardmodels.com
I built that one complete for photos on the website (model eventually sent to Chris G. for a project he had).
The photos in the listing show different angles of the inlet area. But, the canopy included (I didn't do clear), looked like the bubbled canopy, not the straight one on the prototype. That's the way Nobi modeled it in the original kit.
