... I don't know what that thing above the engine is.

Good question. The base airframe is obviously a P-51H. And other than that odd upper cowl 'groove' and lower 'vent', it looks like a standard P-51H (or, indeed, early Merlin-powered F-82) cowling.

I wonder if it would be better to use a P-51H fuselage for this or 1/2 of an F-82 fuselage. Whichever is longer I suppose. The F-82 would give me two fuselages to play with. Then add the wings of a P-51 to get the landing gear. I’m slowly talking myself into a project!

Some photos of the RR Dart powered Mustang:





Makes for an interesting comparison with the Cavalier TUrbo-Mustang III.
