The last one for the day is very special, with a tiny span (this is a racer):

Thanks a lot!

And now the 1/144th engine of a Mustang on a 1/72th Mustang, so ugly/funny?

This may be my favorite yet. I especially like how you extended the wing root to accommodate the small scale engines.

Well done, mon ami!

In Poland we had something like it :D
Sickening, weakening
Don't let another somber pariah consume your soul
You need strengthening, toughening
It takes a bit of dark to rekindle the fire burning in you
Ignite the fire within you

PZL-126? I found it at http://skrzydla.org/photo-PZL-126-Mr-wka-111690 thanks!
I may create Mustang/PZL-126 mixes if I find a 3-view or profile of the latter.
(But this would be for another place, as this does not concern mixed scales of Mustangs)

Checking the sizes/scales, I had the surprize that the PZL-126 is like a half-scale P-51! length 4.75m instead of 9.83m.
So:

The upper one here looks like a crop duster of some sort.

Discarding engines is another way:
(with one 1/72 wing, two 1/72 pods, one 1/48 fin, zero engine and zero propeller)

Still another way: changing scale for external wings and fins, only.
From this (72nd/48th - 144th/72th - 144th/48th), the scale-1 Lightnings below have been built:

Thanks!

Now with 1/144th canopy and fins, on a 1/24th model, a giant airplane comes to life, with huge engines (480 cylinders)...

On a 1/72nd model, truncated 1/144th booms can be used as additional jets:

Another new direction: huge wheels and the rest being small (here 1/32nd wheels and 1/72 rest)
