F-82"I"

That inspires a twin-bodied Fw 190D-9...  

Sort of like this one I did a couple years ago.



Here's the thread. http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,24253.0/highlight,fw-190d+zwilling.html

Yeah, I got something similar on my mind - slightly different though. Single horiziontal stabilizer (P-82 style, but deeper - probably from a Fw 189), different landing gear (main gear retracting rearwards into fuselage, maybe twin wheels - IMHO, using the original wide track landing gear looks a bit awkward, and overall too flimsy for such a big aircraft), and maybe a jet booster nacelle under the central wing section (got one left over from a He 162): as a heavy daylight interceptor.

Should be a single-seater, though, just like your creation, based on the D-9 from Italeri. Nothing concrete yet, collecting ideas - but this haunts me.

If I see it correctly, you constructed the mid wing section from two halves of the original aircraft - I might try to create a flat, new piece.

Thank you for posting this one - confirms my idea/impression, and it looks great in the whitewash cammo. 

But it might take months until we get there, so much other things on the bench...
