Here’s a little something that’s been hiding in the shadows of my workbench for quite sometime and now that it’s close to the finish line, I thought I’d bring it out into the light of day.[:D]
I used a part of one Mustang to extend the fuselage and other bits and pieces to come up with what I envision to be a light bomber/fighter.[;)]

what the paint looked like when I started and the decals as of now.
Eddie, I really like your work! You’ve got SOME imagination, and they look like they could have been real possible prototypes.[tup][tup][tup]
THat is one killer 'stang Eddie. Looks fanstastic!
Is there a Reno Racer in the future? Nice, Eddie. Somewhere physics matter, but not in your Universe. I salute you.[#toast]
Happy holidays!
There was no way to incorporate the the skull into it, Eddie?
Bah! Just a typical great build.
Physics may not be that far off. This one reminds me of the Piper Enforcer, which was based on the P-51 and had a turboprop. The proportions are similar. Yet it has that distinctive charm that one always finds in an Eddie Miller original.
I like it. Nice build… [8-]
Thank y’all very much![#toast] Not much progess today due to the holiday. Happy 4th of July my fellow Americans! Hopefully I’ll be able to devote some time to it this week, but it will be second fiddle to my 1 week GB build over at Whatifmodelers. I’m doing a Corsair/Spitfire bash called Bloody Death. Not to mention I’ve got a F/A-18F on the bench that I’m doing as a VFA-142 bird. Yes, it is a whif.[:D]
Eddie
great job eddie that is a very interesting plane.
Great build.
Piper tied modifing the P-51 into a turboprop. The Piper enforcer. Looks similar and just as dangerous.

Good work!
Thank you Gents![8D]
Here’s the finished product. I’m pretty happy considering I had no real expectations of how it would turnout. Just using up spare parts.[:)]
Eddie
Great job eddie, did tint or paint the canopy. Very awsome build.[tup]
