Detailed model airplanes

WyoBob · 12-28-2009, 11:12 AM

A friend sent me this the other day. As a former model and real airplane builder, I was very interested in this. I think building a real airplane is a cakewalk compared to what this guy has accomplished! It takes awhile to go through the whole page & look at the pictures but it was worth it to me and, I would think, to anyone who appreciates outstanding craftsmanship (even if they're not interested in airplanes).

The engine pics are amazing. You would never know they were minitature.

Holy crap! I'd give my left nut for that P51 Mustang - heck maybe the right one too!

Simply amazing and stunning -

I thought you might like the model pics, hotreds

I can't make anything out of wood that doesn't look like a bird house I made in Cub Scouts but, I used to make airplanes. This one took 5 1/2 years and I flew it for 475 hours. 180 mph with a 150 hp Lycoming (that I overhauled).

I helped a friend build this one:
