The Cortang

[Draken35]

The result is amazing!

I really like that Cortang!!!

That is an interesting idea, and seems to work. Good job.

A long time ago I had thought of using a large (1/32??) Corsair wing on a  (1/72) Short Stirling. It had REALLY tall landing gear because it was so high off the ground--a bent wing would have solved it. Alas, the makings were sold off. I did make an "updated" Stuka-like naval dive bomber for the Japanese using Corsair wings---lots of possibilities!

Mental!
Reminds me of the Supermarine 224 (http://www.rjmitchell-spitfire.co.uk/spitfire/images/g_type224gullwing.jpg).

Yes the change of scale of the Corsair's wing is a great Idea. I want put four 1/72 engines in a 1/32 spitfire. All this thing make this hobby... interesting.

Yes really have the same proportions between the wings profile and the "tail moment"

Difficult work, and perfect finish.  

How about with folded wings and finish on overall sea blue, like the version of the Navy?.

Well, That scheme was thinked by me, like the original Corsair, but I don't have other two kits to make a fusion, I think this is a profiles Thread matter.
Somebody can make a draw?

Wow! Looks like the Martin Mauler. You are make me think in a new cortang for the US Navy. Who knows ... is probably I make another one.

Pablo, I may try to add your Cortang to my gallery of Mustang (simplified) profiles, but maybe I will draw only the interesting lengthening of fuselage. For the wings and tailplanes, finding a Corsair profile source and adjusting its scale to my Mustang would be uneasy. What name would you use for a Cortang reverted back to using Mustang wings and tailplanes while keeping your graceful lengthening?

As you know Mustang is a kind of horse, if you will make another variant You can think in a comparation with other horse more high or long.
Perhaps...Morgan, pinto, palomino, appaloosa and the number P-52,53 etc But you can call as you want.

Thanks a lot Pablo! I have thus added 11 lengthened Mustangs (P-52/53/54) this morning at http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,4461.615.html

Well, this is incredible.  You make it look easy.  Sure came together in a professional-looking result.  Like it was meant to be this way.
Very, very impressive work on a great concept/idea.

Wow.         

[Tophe]

Yes, JHM, you swallowed Pablo's great fake...! The Cortang model was a true-life pure-JMN work about a top-top-secret winner, while all the workbench pictures are fake, to pretend this was a crazy dream of what-if modeller. Wrong! A so perfect "final result" simply cannot be non-professional invention, this is impossible, but of course engineer/industrial marvel. Let's be serious

[Pablo1965]

Thanks for your undeserved words, I'm glad my models are apreciated. During years before I know this site I think I am alone.
For this reason, now I am very grateful only with show my models.
Thanks, and I know you are really a very good group of modellers.
