Très bon Tophe.

Thanks zenrat!

Talking with Kitbasher about asymmetric aircraft, an idea stroke me: the P-51TB should be asymmetric!

The built P-51 Twin-boomstang has been asymmetric, this is glued and finished, while... mirror copy may ("go back" and) create the first symmetric project anyway:

Opposite is possible as well, external booms and internal tailplanes:

To be even more what-if/dreamy, I could have made the tailplanes becoming fins on the P-51TB not only P-51TF (with fins becoming tailplanes on the TB):

Ahem, my little home has no garden, and... I am not a "good French", sorry: I don't like wine (I prefer American Mountain Dew), I don't like French cheese (I prefer Italian ice-cream)...

Ok, Mountain Dew it is ! Cheers

Other possible twin-boom P-51s with single propeller, tractor:

I believe there exists Mountain Dew-flavoured ice cream ... if not, then just make Mountain Dew floats.

Nice work, Tophe!  Looks good, as usual, and completely different from the original item.

As usual two very creative build. Well done!

Thank you, dear friends

Maybe I could order 2 more P-51Ds 1/144 (once again) to make an asymmetric twin-engined Mustang like the Asymmetric Hurricane at:
https://hushkit.net/2017/12/05/top-ten-asymmetric-aircraft/
(and http://www.geocities.ws/asymmetrics/britishasymms.htm )
I think it will depend on medical exams this month (some future at home or hospital?)

Good news about my health: the scanner seems to show there is no growth of the "things" as if they were not cancerous, the oncologist will confirm.
To celebrate this, here is a different asymmetric Mustang, with 2 cockpits (2 pods) and a single boom:
