I had just been thinking of doing a series of planes based on famous WWII fighters using components to create touring planes. But I see somebody is doing it far far better than I had imagined mine. Nice work, and thanks for saving me all that time bashing kits!
Excellent Hare, it looks the part.

That FW and Hawker look awesome! Great work, JP. Really reminds me of the Bf 108 Taifun.

[GTX_Admin]

Really reminds me of the Bf 108 Taifun.

Me thinks that might have been the goal!

[Talos]

Me thinks that might have been the goal!

As do I. 

[Empty Handed]

Love the Hawker Hare!

Please don't give up on my account; I really enjoy seeing the plastic creations of other forum members and I hope that you go on with your project.

Yes, you're right.
My starting idea was the link between the Bf-108 and the Bf-109 and imagine what-if other WWII fighters had touring/sports "ancestors"...?

[Brian da Basher]

And here is another one

The Hawker hare was a British sports/ touring aircraft of the 1930's.
Some of its design features were latter used on the Hawker monoplane (Hurricane).
Some Hares were also used by the military as a observation aircraft

My what lovely spats you have there!
 
This may be an observation bird, but it is me observing with great delight the streamlined curves of those lovely spats!
 
And it certainly looks authentic too!

JP: A Hare variant with a Napier Rapier (à la Fairey Seafox) would look great too!

[Rafael]

Great work, JP! These last sure capture the romanticism and adventure of an era

[jcf]

A later version could be a monoplane with retracts ala the Heston Phoenix.

Thank you all for your comments and suggestions: it really helps developping my work :)

Oh, don't worry, sinceI have a couple hundred projects on the go at any given time, it isn't like they're abandoned, just delayed.   :)

Glad to hear that :)
Looking forward to see them

Hawker Hare is a marvel!

What about a fast post war tourer based upon the Hawker Typhoon or Tempest or even on the Mustang?  Or maybe a twin engine civilian  transport based upon a P-38 or P-61 or even Me-410?

[Tophe]

If JP could apply his talent on these, I'd be delighted...

If memory serves me correctly, the Mustang version would resemble something between the Mustang proper and the Navion, likely a Mustang wing with a modified Navion fuselage.  Then you could extend this to something analogous to the Twin Navion.

Thanks a lot for your suggestion

Hmm, so that's where Cessna got the 185RG proposal.  Albeit, the Cessna concept used a sponson and a shorter strut.
