+1 to the P76.

With this I request the Bf218K8 be added to balance this juggernaut.  Will post pic later today.   :D

Note the central engine can rotate either way and use gearing to rotate the prop. The engine can be reversed during flight as required.

This would be a nice edition to flesh out the scenarios.

This was the USAAC solution to that nasty pilot wound problem experienced by earlier versions.

It makes the P51VLR (20mm) look like a wimp!

(Image removed from quote.)
doesnt VLR stand for Very Long Range? if thats the case then why does this make it look like a wimp when all the VLR is is a P51? :P

The Mustang Mk IA was the 20mm variant :)

Oh hey would ya look at that.  I didn't realize I was photoshopping a real plane.   :lol
Was a 50/50 gambit on which side the cockpit was going to end up, but I figured it'd be on the right side, being Euro and all.

Heh, you would figure that. But 109's are boarded from the left, so putting the cockpit on the left would make sense.
