P-51 FS-J (Forward-swept wings with jet engine)

This is fabulous!

To get the swept-forward wings, did you re-engineer the wings to have the trailing edges and leading edges "reversed"? That is, thicken one and thin the other? Or....?

Thanks to all. Yes Craig, more or less; a lot of work sanding. $:-\$

Now that's just wicked. I think yours and mine should fight! A battle of the forward-swept!

Lovely execution!

Oh yes, it´s true; against your fantastic He 162 S-2. Good luck

Forward-swept wings.....one of my favourite configurations. I remember now the two projects i made before: Junkers EF 131, and Cornelius XFG.

Cheers

Looking at that Junkers pair makes your eyes go crossed!

Really Nice that FS-J. Your scheme looks like F-86 in Korea.
