Personally, I love the idea of the having a P-40Q-3. It was more maneuverable then the P-51 or the P-47 were. It had much better climb rates than most plane existing including the P-80 and Spitfire XIVe. It still kept the durability of the rest of the P-40 series. In production models, it would have 4x20mm or 6x.50cal guns evening out its firepower. Basically, it would be an all-purpose fighter for the Americans in 1944. I've attached
This one is actually of the XP-40Q-2.
This one is actually of the XP-40Q-3 that went on to be a civilian racer under the registration of NX300B.

I requested this plane a while ago, but nothing much came of it. The pictures are just to show you guys how beautiful this plane really is. Oh yeah, the P-40F and P-40N would be great to have to. The P-60 series would be nice seeing as it lost out since the USAAF kept changing their requirements. Just as a side note, I find it rather funny that people generally welcome the Luft '46 planes like the He 280B or the He 343, but everyone seems to be up in arms in somebody requests an American '46 type plane. I find that rather funny, anyways... If somebody wants to extend the P-40 series, that would be great. If someone even wanted, they could make the twin engined P-40 too.
Beastly, isn't it...
