What is the scoop under the fuselage for? is it part if the cooling system?

Yea found out myself aswell, looked alot less fat in the video and i saw a prop on it, wich made me think it wassent a Jet.

The P51B had a rebuild radiator and a completely different gun armament as well as the new engine compared to the older P51A, but it would be pretty easy to combine elements of the P51A and P51D models to make a B or C model. However the plane shown on the website is clearly the Allison engined A, so its probably just a typo and the person putting it up meant to write P51A instead of P51B.

David, I think you need to offer classroom lecture via the forums. LOL. ;)

I'll bear that in mind if anyone starts offering degree courses in WWII aviation. :)

I wish they would!

Nice list, David. I agree we need some more Italian planes :D and maybe add a LaGG-3 for kicks??

I would like to see more Italian planes, there are some very interesting aircraft such as the SM.79 bomber and the Fiat Cr.42 biplane, but I think the Yak 1 and I-16 have the early war Russian fighter angle covered, and there isn't really any reason to pick a LaGG-3 over a Yak 1.

True, but I've always wanted to fly in a "Laminated Coffin" LOL Maybe they could get a Fiat Br.20. That was a cool looking Italian bomber? The SM.79 is cool too, but was mostly converted to be a torpedo bomber. Still cool though :D

It is the jet right before 1:06.

The Me-163 Komet was pretty much rocket propelled and had a tiny prop on the front to keep it stable. Also, it only has like 7-8 minutes of fuel, so watch your gauges.

BTW, does anyone know if jet engines can also explode in BoP if we throttle up too fast like in IL2?
