Weser Tilt Rotor Designs

As you could see it was especially busy on the VSTOL field,

Great work, Jens. Fantastic, like all the others from your hands...
Please, if you can post the technical data ::)

"Please, if you can post the technical data"

Sorry, there's not very much, I have to offer. The drawings were made using original
plans, which I got from boxkite, but .. those plans usually show the appearance of the
aircraft, but no data besides the dimensions.
The P24 was planned as a transport, with a cargo hold able to carry a 1.5 ton truck.
The P27 was intended as a multi-role aircraft, carrying up to 12 troops, but also
sutable for the attack role with unguided rockets, or missiles carried in a weapons bay.

And .. with these types we are in the wrong section again ! ;)
 
that WFG P 24 looks very curtiss 'x-19' type like...

cheers,
Robin.

Good question, me not, too ! A bit strange ...
There should have been 4 versions of the WFG P 16, if those drawings are helpful, just give a shout.
 
.. and now, I'm looking for the sources, I used back then.
As you see, those variants differ mainly in the seating arrangement (tandem vs side-by-side) and the
shape and position of the intakes. First I got to know the P 16 from the AHS paper about "German V/STOL
Rotorcraft and Propellercraft Designs of the Twentieth Century", where it was described as an anti-helicopter
fighter with a gross weight of 1,850 kg and a speed of 362 kts.

From Aviation magazine 1963,

the P-23 in details.

It looks like you could use a short MU-2 fuselage as a starting point, and fitting the new wing/engines package and a new tail section with the rotors in the vertical and horizontal tails. Given that the MU-2 wings bolts to the top of the fuselage and that there is a production break just aft of the aft pressure bulkhead, it would be quite feasible.
