YES. I love P-40s, and I love the Q. Would be amazing to see even a static exzample.


Where's "Hang The Expense" these days? He might be up for it. He's got a lotta P-40 parts tooling...

I’d like to see a Supermarine Spiteful or a Seafang.

Mitsubishi F1M2 "Pete", exceptionally clean multipurpose bi plane float plane.
I mourn when I see photos of them abandoned on various Pacific beaches at the end of the conflict.

Kawasaki Ki-61 Hien Fighter - Keep hearing about a couple being done, but nothing yet.

Kawasaki Ki - 100 Type 5 Figher - There is one complete survivor for a pattern and it uses a radial engine.

Consolidated B-32 Dominator - There is a complete one on the moon for a pattern. :axe:

A Messerschmitt 110 with Allison engines and an exhaust setup similar to the recent Allison powered Me-109 project.

This topic has come up before and I always have to throw in for the G-50 Fiat. Looks to be a relatively simple machine that should take an American radial and, I would think, have performance similar to a Zero or Oscar. I would also love to see a P-43 Lancer and, while I don't particularly care for it myself, I would not be surprised to see somebody do a run of Brewster Buffaloes at some point. And since it has been proven that an Allison can be shoehorned into the nose of a 109 I would LOVE to see somebody do a Macchi 202 or G-55 Fiat.

A project that has been ongoing for years but I'm sure not too many other than Swedes have heard about it. I'd like to see some progress on the J 22 - Memorial Flight » FFVS J 22 Restoration Project

I don't think the upright Allison would fit in a 110 or an early 109. an Me-210 or Me-410 should have enough clearance under the cowl like the later Bf-109s.

Like a lot of the planes listed so far so I will go with a few between the wars types. Heinkel He 51, neat little biplane with lines and construction dating back to the Fokker D.VII. Fiat Cr 32, ditto. Berliner-Joyce P-16, last American two seat biplane fighter in the mold of the Bristol Brisfit. Curtiss F9C the biplane intended to be flown from airships, just looks so cool. Northrop A-17.

What would you suggest for an engine for either of those? I'm guessing an Allison could be made to fit anywhere a Conqueror went for the P-16/ et alli (and would last forever running derated)
