I like the planes of Ford Aircraft Co. They donĀ“t arrive to the WWII, but My What if try to give to this plane the way I think a Fighter made by Ford could show. For those reason I make this plane...The Ford P-52, I hope you like.

Nice! I really like the P-51/Corsair hybrid!  It would be great if you included what parts you used in some of these builds.

You can see all over this plane here: http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,29815.0/highlight,super+vultee.html



Over the P-52 the nose came from Spitfire, the tail and landing gear bay came from P-51, the wing and fuselage from a P-40, radiator came from a Hurricane, and the cowling made by me, vacuformed the P-40B cowling. :thumbsup:

Really nice  :thumbsup: - I think the RAF tail flash was standard on US Aircraft in North Africa (not just Torch) as it was on some Mitchel's ? in the Western Desert. I don't know if it carried over to Husky and Sicily though
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

If you mean the yellow and black checkerboard was used even in Italy. And the outline of the "Black Fuse" is as we find in the Aeromaster decals. :thumbsup:

Neat merging of aircraft there, Pablo! :thumbsup:

No, he means the red-white-blue vertical stripes on the tail - as was standard for British planes. ;)

  :o You can't show so many of your creations all at once it puts me into brain overload!  :wub:

No one merges propeller airplanes as well as you, and I have to really look hard to pick out the different airplanes you merged  :bow:

Love the black P-40

the P-52 is great, I love the striped camouflage. Winners Pablo!  :thumbsup:

The decals scheme is a copy of the spitfire on torch operation. so I have understood, shortly after, the scheme returned to their standard brands.
In my fantasy, my planes have british pilot when I want.
