This is an exteremely sexy Aircraft, too bad it was never put into production. Stil... its aggressive looking enough with a sleek look, and I really like that.

IDK, just looks kinda ugly to me.

Clearly two aircraft kinda franken-stiched together.

You do understand it was the Merlin 60 series engine of the Spitfire VIII/IX combined with the airframe of the Allison P51 Mustang that became the bird everyone knows.

So the Spit was combined with the 51 :)
