On that tiny an airframe, a simple, tail-less, delta wing would make more sense.

Read on wikipedia's XF-85 entry that McDonnell Model 27 started its life back on December 1942 as a piston engined parasite fighter before ending as the Model 27D.

Can somebody post a drawing of that Model 27 from 1942?

Thanks in advance,

Antonio

My dear Antonio,

of course that's not as you asked,but it's a model,may we can imagine
what was its shape with piston engine.

Antonio, I'm sorry too but I've exhausted the possibilities of my research without finding anything about the piston engine version.

My dear Antonio,

as in McDonnell aircraft list,there only two designs submitted before
led to develop Model-27A, in fact they were four concepts.
