Nice. The P-51 is one of the nicest looking WW2 era fighters.
Though being a 2-seater, this makes the silhouette slightly different from the later variant P-51 everyone is familiar with.
I know real P-51 are sometimes used for acrobatics and air shows, I suppose this replica is just for looks and cannot pull any real acrobatics, right?
Quite cool, however if we are being pedantic it isn't a proper replica, having modern avionics, frame improvments and no guns.
I would love to own something like this one day. Makes me wonder if something similar is possible for vintage sports cars.
The most insane thing about this is that the company is German.
160 hp seems a little disappointing considering the original merlin-powered variant had 1,490 hp. i realize this thing is a lot lighter, but would’ve been really cool to see a turboprop or more power.
Looks like "rivets" are moulded into the carbon fibre surface.
So it's more like cosplay rather than a replica.

Ouch. I mean it’s in line for new plane pricing but still, ouchie.
What's the point without the merlin engine?
Nice. But I'd prefer a P-38 replica
Cool, now get https://www.icon4x4.com/derelict/pastprojects involved and make a derelict version of it. Please...
Pretty cool, I guess, but that puny Rotax under the engine cowling pales in comparison to the V-1650's that powered the real deal Mustangs which ran at almost 10x the horsepower and double the cruise speed, 50% better climb speed despite being 10x heavier, etc.
It's got comparable performance to a Cirrus SR22. Not much of a replica if you ask me.
