There was also a replica Mustang to full size with a turboprop engine up front with the possibility of fitting a Merlin?

Yes there is, I don’t know about the Merlin option, but it does have a turbine. It’s made in northern Idaho. I think they’ve sold about a half dozen.

Awhile back I saw a Thunder Mustang under assembly at Ezell Avaition. Looked like a quality piece of work. And up close it seems a good size for a personal ship (aside from the Warbird factor, do you need a plane as big as a Mustang or Spitfire to have some fun? Remember they were designed for long range and hauling a good weapons load…not something many of us need today).

Wouldn’t mind having one.
