Could be Full SCALE
Didn't quite know where or if my project should go , so I hope you don't mind here.
Model is 60% P-51D. It's about the size and wing area of Mooney Mite. http://s437.photobucket.com/albums/qq99/packardpursuit/ Have no doubt, with appropriate reenforcement,surface hinging, widening of cockpit etc, it could be an "Experimental". Model is very accurate museum display. BTW- the odd Areonca central intrument is from my 1938 KCA. |

Re: Could be Full SCALE
There use to be company in Phoenix AZ. that made plans for 5/8 scale , War Aircraft Replicas. They had design FW190, Corsair, P-47.This was back in Mid Seventies.
My friend build FW190, with 100 hp Continental. single seat about the size of the Mustag on the pictures. I use to make metal components for those, retracts wing mounting fittings engine mounts etc. Plane was like big model , fuselage wood box structure, covered by foam blocks sended to shape and covered with fiberglass and painted, wings were build the same way. Don't remember the weight. Zee |

Re: Could be Full SCALE
Thanks for bring the photos to the thread. Im afraid I haven't mastered that ability yet! The model is for display only . It is foam over ply box. All very homebuilt like. however the glassed structure, as is ,only weighs about 350 lbs. NAA 'blue prints' were used for refference.

Re: Could be Full SCALE
Is it painted yet? do you plan on painting it?
I'm an aircraft painter in Arizona with a lot of airbrush experience (started out painting custom cars and bikes) I could make it look like aluminum for ya or whatever you like! Here are a few examples. |
