Well, since NAA is verified as having done preliminary layout work on a R2800-powered P-51 version, how about one with a R4360 and an extended rear fuselage (say from the F-82) for wieght and balance purposes?

Now there's an idea     Are there any 3-views of the R-2800 P-51 Evan?  But what about an F-82 with R-4360's anyway?

BTW, collecting bits and info to make an 'In service' Goodyear Corsair

What scale?  I have a 1/72 kit of one in the stash made by Xotic Kits and I believe MPM or Special Hobby do a 1/72 kit too.

Can you post shots of sprues, please?

I'll have to try and find it Carlos, I got all the boxes in from the container which have my stash in but which box it's in I don't know.

     Not really meaning to butt in, but in an Air Enthusiast from about 7 or 8 years ago, there are drawings & info on I believe some NAA R-1830 powered P-51H proposals & sometime back, somehow I got a 3 view of an R-2800 powered P-51D proposed by John Crocker (or is it Cocker?) for air racing. I, too would like to see NAA's R-2800 info.

I lucked out Carlos, second box I looked in.  I can't remember though if the large bits were on a sprue, I've been fondling plastic I think  :

I may be in error there as to the engine, but I believe Scott had something on it in one issue of APR.  On the racing side, I will admit to some doodles of a F-82 re-engined with R4360s and cut-down, or otherwise streamlined, canopies.

Just an outre thought, how about a Fw-190D or Ta-152 airframe with a R4360 installed?

[famvburg]

       IIRC, BMW made a 4-row radial similar to the -4360, the 802 maybe.

BMW 802 was a two-bank 18-cylinder radial.

BMW 803 was the 28-cylinder engine and weighed a whopping 6,490 lbs, a good 3,000 lbs heavier than a basic R-4360.

OK, modified title to include XP-69: Another BigBeautifulFighter.

How about a Tempest or Sea Fury?  The extra power might need some airframe changes, but should give some extra grunt.

[famvburg]

      There are some Reno Air Racer Sea Furies using the R-4360 & other than the forward fuselage & racing mods, I don't tink the result would be much different that having a Corsair go from F4U to F2G.

     Why is the XP-69 included? It is (well, was supposed to be) a large fighter, but not R-4360 powered & really didn't even have a 'big' engine, only 2160 CID, I guess about the same a R/R Griffon & also comparable power. It may have had 42 cylinders, but at 2160 cubes, they weren't big.

High Planes do a number of Sea Fury Reno Racers Simon, got a few of the kits myself.

Sea Fury 'Furias' uses the R4360 but 'Critical Mass' uses the R3350.  IIRC they use four blade Douglas Invader props

AH, forgot about the Reno racers, thanks guys!
