Came across this "beast". Cool what-if.....
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Re: Potential Subjects
That is so cool. 
I've read somewhere that every GB ever built, crashed. I don't know if that's 100% correct, but can you imagine taking one into combat?!?

it would have been fast, very good in turns, and yeah, probably crashed more than would have been shot down. But....

Here's a model that I've had in my collection for a long time, and the magazine that inspired it, published in June 1984. The model was built by James Steele, probably at about that same time, using the Williams Brothers kit.

That is a good looking a/c!

Re: Potential Subjects
Looks like a fun “what if?” project. Although by 1941, which the markings are for, I wonder how well it would have stacked up against the P-35, P-36, P-39, and P-40? 
The P-35 was a racer design that actually saw service as a fighter, so why not this P-45B?
