You'd be mad to try it ;) I'm currently trying to finish the chin cowl on Kermit's MkV amongst other things, it would cost a phenomenal amount to replicate that and the other cowls unless Kermit was kind enough to lend out his jigs ;) I for one would love to see one of the prototype, I think, Furies with the contra props and chin cowl which looked as mean as hell, or maybe it was another Tempest prototype, getting confused, too much sun yesterday fixing the hangar. You could probably make a lookalike Tempest from a Fury, chop the tail and wings about a bit and you'd be somewhere near. But those cowls are the biggest bugbear, PROCEED DREAMING WITH CAUTION! ;)
