I think I just.... oh crap, I need to go take a shower now. That is one fine piece of machinery. Thanks Wade for posting it.

So you guys did this. I blame you. And "YOU" know who you are. LOL. It may take a while, but I as much as I love my 3w engines, I just really think the DS Mustang would not be a Mustang with a two stroke engine. That being said, I am also equally certain the other beast "dub" powered planes will not be offended if I change things up and go with a different engine choice. I am pretty certain the Behemoth Stang will be sporting a 150 (3) Kolm. At 4700.00, it is just not that far out of reach.

Probably be next year before I can get one coming. But the fuse needs to be at least framed up. Minus engine firewall before I go putting the proverbial cart ahead of the horse.

That's what I would do. I would even sell off something to make it happen If that's what it took. GOT to have the SOUND in a big war bird.
That way all the major senses are "properly" stimulated .

And if a "non military" scheme does strike your fancy the "Rockwell International" always caught my eye. I would do the lettering in chrome however.

Wow, it's been so long since I've seen that I think I've blocked it out of my mind. That's as criminal as the pink one.

Nothing worse, and I mean nothing worse, that a well made warbird with a single cylinder sticking out from the bottom. I would switch sexual preferences before I powered a 2 or 3 year warbird project with a single cylinder.

ROTFLMAO........YEP! Not to knock the "legend" but I have heard that scheme called "Hideous Hoover's corn plow" lol

JMO.........Mustangs and Forked Tongue Devils are my two favorite WWII aircraft and best done to look like "inspection ready"polished aluminum with appropriate campaign markings and nose art .

Another one you can't go wrong with is Chuck Yeagar's Glamorous Glen
