quick Franken-thinking
P-51A scoop, flatter nose, 2xSpitV exhausts per side... based on Riken's MkIa.
but what does that profile show for armament... 4x20mm? Uh? Say what?

But i must, as always (yea, yea, people hate me for that), ask for the Purpose:
what does the tornado do Different, where are the Big Differences that make such a Mod worthwhile?
The difference is the engine, and therefor a slightly different performance.
But the really spicy part, the unreliability of said engine can not be shown.

Someone could get pretty close to that 1st prototype by putting the canopy from Riken's Typhoon 1a onto the HurricaneEX......
