The Mustang is the better looking of the two by far (to me anyway), but I have flown them both and the P-47 is the better flier.

So it's up to you - Looks or performance?

Mike...........I won't vote either but in my mind's eye the P47 is the better looking of the two.........especially the razorback............like a Man's plane........rugged looking........tough.......attitude..............the P51 is like a little girlie man sporty car..................

Status: offline 		I am almost finished with the TF p-51.  Mine isnt the giant, its the 1/7th scale.  I am a bit surprised at how heavy it seems to be.  I put a 1.20 4s on the front.  I weighed it with digital scales.  It comes in at almost exactly 10lbs.  Other guys have told me theirs is over 12.  It just feels like a heavy 10 lbs.  We will see very soon how well it flies.

Damm 70 years to late, I can close my eyes and see the P-57 riding shot-gun with the B-17's. What dreams are made of. Who will be the first to build it.

So let me see if I have the picture right. The body and wing off the 47 and the tail feathers and bottom air intake of the 51.
