North American Mustang VII (P-51N) - a radial alternative...

Oh, ah! The upper side view confirms my impression that a Centaurus grafted onto a P-51H, with its deeper fuselage and bigger tail, should look even better or balanced - even though I still like the idea of the rather sleek P-51D with the blunt nose, because it looks really purposeful.

Thanks a lot for taking up my idea, I feel honored.

Your new idea is this?:

Thanks to you...
While, uh... something was wrong with my drawing. Maybe, from the Sea-Fury engine, the standardized length should not be "propeller to windscreen" but "propeller to wing". With 2 possible ways:

Beauty and the beast, can't beat a bit of heresy!

Sorry $:-\$ maybe I have almost "hijacked" this topic: of course its subject is only the wonderful model on Page 1, my drawings being just delirium about it.
Congratulations again Dizzyfugu for what you built with so much talent!

Ah, you're welcome. It's nice to see that some weird ideas inspire others, so your contribution is highly appreciated.
