There is nothing new about this. Executive Outcomes was flying Pilatus PC-7s with mounted air-to-ground rockets.
It is cool to see 40's technlogy with modern weapons. Will someone bring back the P-51 or the Corsair?

Longer answer, I believe that the problem with a new production run of any of the top end warbirds of WWII is that piston engines of that power range are no longer produced. Aircraft that need power in that range use turbo props today.

The P-51 is still a better CAS plane than the F35.
