Great stuff.

It still takes me two looks to get my head around the wingplan change.

One of the skills of whatiffery is to make a kit bash look like it existed or is real, you've really nailed it with this one looking forward to seeing the finished article.

Still like the name  ;D

That’s another one to put on the table at a show and watch people scratch their heads!
Great work on a great idea.
Could be a GB challenge. Take two aircraft and switch the wings and fuselages…….

Very slowly mate.  Put u/c doors on, seats almost finished and windscreen fitted.
