2-seat Mustang with rear bubble

[Tophe]

Uh, maybe there is another way to build as model a member of this family:
- taking from the Spit Tr.9 inspiration just for the rear bubble, not its precise shape
- so using a standard (long) 51D bubble there instead

Tophe me little French mate you've nailed it ..those ideas are a prefect layout...plenty of view for the instructor to see ahead and it's using an older model P-51 as a trainer..awesome stuff bud   

[Tophe]

Thanks!

And it was not completely finished; saying "rear bubble" did not mean "no bubble forward"

Still another version (the delirium is not cured yet):

Oh yes, I have the explanation: I forgot to eat my anti-psychotic pills this evening, sorry.

With a rear propeller, the rear bubble could even be the normal one:

OK the DD-9 and DD-10 are very cool and oh there's a temptation there Tophe mate 

[Tophe]

Thanks to be interested by this delirium of mine...

I like the Pusherstangs.      I'd assume that they would have a tricycle landing gear? And I'd move the wings further back, due to CoG reasons? Might be worth a build, I think I have a Matchbox Mustang somewhere, which is a great conversion basis.

[Tophe]

Thanks for your interest.
Well, of course to have a propeller ground clearance, the tail must be high requiring a tricycle landing gear, but I'd better add a lower fin to protect. And yes, for balance with landing gear, the wing mut be moved backwards, thanks again!:

Other possibility; increasing the little bubble of the B-9 to the size of the D-9's one:

the D model just don't look right  .the lines are too wreid and the back seater wouldn't be able to see a thing .

Even worse was possible, a drawing of it has been made to show "what is unacceptable":

And remember the main advantage of the bubble canopy: "perfect view all around, guaranteed!"...

Just not to the front matey ..I hear it's quite important for pilots to be able to see forward 
Now if the back seater is a navigator or radar operator then he wouldn't really need to see forward..the backseater in a F4 Phantom can't see a damn thing from the back seat.
That would mean your idea would work perfectly fine mate 👍

Thanks!

And as rear bubble may be a perfect sphere:
