Looks nice. I read the article and the pilot noted that A/C flies better with a 4 bladed prop vs 3. Naive question: why did so few German fighter A/C have 4 bladed props? What did the A/C manufactures stay with 3 blades for the fighters? Lack of strategic materials? Jets and rockets kick a**?My unscientific study (Google WW II fighter pictures) shows many A/C near the end of war had been converted from 3 to 4 or more blades.
I keep thinking of the Fw190TL mated to the "swallow" wing flight-tested on the Fw190V19.

How about a FW-190ish equivalent to the Hawker P.1040,1052 and 1081? Outer wings, canopy, rear fuselage and tail for the P.1040 equivalent the less and less of the original as it evolves slowly into the German Hunter, FW Jager?
