GREAT STUFF , T Gun the A-36 LOOKS tough , there cant be many of those left,how much of a big deal is it to convert
the B model ? it looks like the nose is the biggest deal

There are paramount differences in the fuselages of the Allison powered Mustangs as compared to the Merlin powered B and C variants. The nose is the most obvious but the radiator is also entirely different and the whole of the fuselage is narrower in depth. Depending on just how accurate you want the conversion to be it could range from not much of a big deal to a very substantial re-design of the entire structure.
