Aircraft modified and kitbashed per my warped imagination, rather than anything actually proposed by real-life engineers.

Dornier 335 "Red Arrow Racing Team."
What if a Dornier Do-335A had been saved fron the scrap heaps of WWII, purchased by a private individual, and converted to an unlimited racing plane? How would it have done at the Reno Air Races?
Tamiya's 1/48 kit painted with Ford Toreador Red car paint, and decorated with home-made decals.

Focke Wulf FW-190C
What if the Focke-Wulf FW-190 V18 had been developed into the Fw-190C model? With a DB-603A-1 engine, an external turbo-supercharger, and pressurized cockpit, it would have been used as a high-altitude fighter.
Hobby Boss's 1/48 Scale Kit, finished as it might appear in conjectural service with JG1.
I added Doppelreiter fuel tanks and 20mm cannon pods from other FW-190 kits.

Messerschmitt Me-109Z "Zwilling" Night Fighter
What if Messerschmitt had developed the Me-109Z into a night fighter?
One prototype was built of the "Siamese Twin" 109 as a proposal for a new heavy fighter using existing tooling. It was destroyed in a bombing raid, and never flew. Here, I imagine what it may have looked like if the plan had been successful and the line continued through a late-war night fighter variant.
Two Hobbycraft 109G-10s married to a Cutting Edge resin conversion wing, and radar parts from DML's Ju-88 series.

Republic "P-72N"
 As it might have appeared in the markings of the 318th FG, 333rd FS, on Ie Shima in July/August, 1945
What if Republic had continued to improve the experimental XP-72, resulting in a very-long-range (VLR) version paralleling the P-47N for the Pacific war? Here, then, is a Republic “P-72N” fitted out for a VLR attack mission to the Kagoshima Bay area of Kyushu, with ten 5-inch rockets and two 1,000 pound bombs. The pilot’s scoreboard shows two kills, four bombing missions, two napalm missions, and four rocket-attack missions.
The model uses Halberd Models’ XP-72 conversion fuselage for the 1/48 Tamiya P-47D, with Tamiya’s cockpit, plus panel and seatbelts by Eduard. The wings and dorsal fin are taken from the Academy P-47N and grafted on. The bombs are from the Miniart P-47D. Decals are from Thundercals, Furball Decals, both plastic kit sheets, and the personal markings are home made.
