 With the old P-51 of matchbox, (one of the worst of matchbox), two engine of the Heinkel He280, and the nose of a P-38 whose parts fit perfectly, I made this plane how it was used in 1944. I think is more probably it is a post-war model but the fantasy is free.

Very nice!!  I can actually see North American building something like this to compete with Lockheed's P-80 Shooting Star!

I do like that.  :wub:

Although the amount of `Blue on Blue` incidents might be high with it`s similar Me 262 profile.
Perhaps it was kept back in the UK for anti V1 duties?

Really, I had not thought of these possibilities but your ideas give me new perspectives on my plane.

Thanks again

Nice one Pablo! Love the faired-over intake on the underside, looks like the big belly tank of a Supermarine Attacker or Swift.  :thumbsup:

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Thanks for your kind words, are important to me as the octane of fuel to continue my work, really show what we do has very little narcissism and much to share my work with others, as you have been able to tell from the comments dedicated to those who believe wiffers colleagues.

No, what happens is that I'm also love "Dieselpunk  culture", and there is a relation between my planes and this kind of aestetic.
Famous is not a good adjetive to my work. Thanks, I think your work really is great, and is one of the first I found in this site.


Thanks you all again. :cheers:

Ohh, that's gorgeous! :wub: Aside from the excellent idea and build, the curved cheat line between the polished metal and the drab top surface is just superb. :thumbsup:
