Stepping back to the standard combat-ready Mustang II by Cavalier, I wonder how the extra hardpoints and tip tanks would look on a P-51B/C.
Thanks to flight simulators, something like this:

Indeed!! Now that I think about it, I wonder how a war-surplus "Junkyard Dawg" might fall into their hands? Perhaps the 20mm cannon betting replaced with newer weapons of the same bore? That plus the rest of Cavalier's work could get may for a very interesting aircraft.

I could see that working. However, I was referring to my "Junkyard Dawg" concept outlined above, the P-51B/C with a Mustang I/P=51 wing with 4x20mm cannon. Be interesting to see that one worked over by Cavalier. 'Twould be an interesting "evolution".
While it's been done already in plastic by a couple people, I'd love to see an Allison-engined -D model. Why the -D rather than a bubble topped P-51A? Better proportions IMHO.
