F4U-9J

What would a jet model of the F4U Corsair look like?

I didn't go with the realistic design of putting the jet engines in the fuselage such as the P-59. I went for the F4U's gull wing, as the curves looked like perfect mounting points for early turbojets, aesthetic wise. I kept the wingroot inlets although the radial engine is gone, as they look iconic.

The design has a radar and 6 20mm autocannons in the now-empty nose, and 3 manually-guided missiles reverse engineered from the X-4. Its top speed would be just shy of that of the Me-262, I imagine.
