Well done Carl.
I'm ashamed to admit that I'm not familiar with the AT-9. The name Jeep seems vaguely familiar but I don't think I've ever seen a photo of one so it's not surprising I didn't get it.

I think you would have to agree there is a strong resemblance to the Bobcat/Crane (originally the AT-8 ), especially from the angle of your unfinished model in the first shot.

It does seem strange that they were both commonly known by 2 different names.

As for the resemblance - if it wasn't written on the page and I didn't look at the nose properly, I would find it hard to distinguish one from the other.
I We forgive you and Foo for thinking it was a Bobcat

yah, the pio work on FS2002. hehehehehe

i agree with hagar, but also take into account that the brits/canadian changed some of the aircraft names... like the havoc and boston, or bobcat and crane.... so the 2 names are prevalent and sometimes confusing

the jeep is a less amous WWII allied trainer and theres not much info available online here's all i have for now.

The AT-9 was developed by Curtiss as a training aircraft that would aid in a trainee's transition to a a high performance twin-engined bomber. Known initially as the Model 25, the aircraft was ordered into production as the AT-9. 491 examples were built for the USAAC, with 300 more examples of the generally similar AT-9A also being produced. They remained in use for a comparatively short time, for with the U.S. entry in the war in late 1941, far more effective training aircraft were soon developed.
