-Being a Jaguar engine, the V12 has the look of any Mustang, Spitfire, P-40, etc, very realistic.

-The exhaust pipes can match the real model. The reduction gear makes the engine architecture look credible as well.

-Art Hendricks' conversion company has prepared a Jaguar V-12 car engine for the homebuilt 1/2 model of the famous Mustang P-51. This is the Stewart S-51 Kit.
