LowObservable said:3. I'd also guess Boeing Vertol, because the nose looks Chinookish.
4. I'd guess SOR 183 - TFX without the Navy
- and most likely North American.

LowObservable said:I'd say the tiltwing is either CX-6(?) or the Tri-Service competition ...
LowObservable said:so whose SOR 183 was it?

That "818" and the "818" we've all come to know and love are virtual identical twins compared to some of the other 818 concepts Boeing looked at. They had truly stealthy designs, they had weird-ass VTOL lifting body designs, they even had turboprop designs.

Great find Orionblamblam !
A very interesting mock-up of the early Model 818, that I have not seen before.
This is why I love this web site!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do you have any more pics or drawings of these early designs?
What was the source that you found the pic of the early Model 818 mock-up

Bell D-35, dated 10-13-1945. You now know as much about it as I do, excpept that Bell Model 35 is listed as a more conventional interceptor. Shrug.
