Looking at the photograph above, it occurs to me that the nose of the P-40M has a large beard radiator, similar to that of a merlin-engined bomber. The spinner is a little too pointed, but maybe the Mosquito's could be used instead? (Perhaps this could also make a merlin engined Beaufighter).

Failing that, perhaps the Tempest nose would be worth trying after all.

Ranwers - the question about skins is important. We can have fun making aircraft from bits and pieces but is it ever going to be possible to make good skins for them? How are things with the Typhoon skin?
