WOW! I wouldn't have pegged that for a relative of a Mustang until you pointed it out. Very nice.  :)
Doom!

Thanks for the comments.
It is a 1950's design with a spacious belly cargo/fuel bay.
As for the engine it has to be perhaps in the 1000hp or more.

Love the name NA Appaloosa :)

I am thinking of doing one of these but I am going to keep the Merlin and the radiator intake on the belly.  Think of it as a high performance tourer..

Perhaps a large air-cooled IV-12 engine?  Say some of the European designers of such engines came over post-WW II and went to work with Ranger to bring out new engines?

Hello
The Grumman F-17 Wildcat was a single seat version of the Tomcat.
It was sold only to export customers and feature many difference regarding the F-14.
It had a different radar and weapons systems (without the AIM-54) and also new engines.
Germany was one of its users; here we see a modernised aircraft of the Luftwaffe in the late 90's.

I'm actually not a huge fan of the F-14, but this is lovely.

Well done JP. The single-seat conversion makes a striking difference  :)

Thank you all for your comments.
Althought not new idea for sure, the single-seat Tomcat is really interesting.
