Aircraft variant alterations

Posted by Matt on Wed Nov 14, 2001 03:38:03 AM

G'day all,
Just thought I would pose a quick question to you. If, during the restoration of a particular aircraft, the actual variant of the plane was altered, what would be the general concensus about this?
I guess one specific case, is of the A-36A in America, being changed to a P-51B, by means of an engine change. This is just an issue that I have been pondering over the last week or two. Ultimately, it is the owner's discrecion of course. With the example given though, either variant would be a delight to see flying again.

Cheers,
