That looks really good! It's amazing what a difference the pointed spinner makes to the DB engine.

Is difficult to imagine under what circunstances a country can do that with a Curtiss, but the finished model, looks great, and I am sure the engine is better than the original in high altitude. Is really curious and unusual, good work

I can't believe how great that looks! I would have never thought of using the original propeller and spinner

Only the spinner is original Curtiss , the prop is from the 109!
Nice that you like my Curtiss

The bug has been borrowed from a Revell Bf 109 G-10.  This model was not planned What if!
But the Italeri kit was in the bow area as bad as what I had to change!
