I did have the chance to visit a restoration shop in Idaho Falls a few weeks ago. Was drooling!!! Same group who built Berlin Express...

I think both of you should share photos of these awesome full scale versions with those of us who aren’t as lucky!

Heck ya. Why not? I am certain I can get over to the Warhawk Museum this week. I can get some photos of the P40 and the "B" Mustang. But getting over to Boise is another story. I can get over there ok. It is just a matter of getting in touch with the owner of the "D" and him having time to come over to the Hangar to let me photograph her. I bet if I looked hard enough on my many hard drives, I could find some photos of it. That is "IF" I can get my other sickly pc's to start. I will see what I can do.

Ferocious Frankie has always been one of my favorites. I built a Top Flite Red Box about 8 years ago but never flew her. Added retracts and tail gear. As usual, I just felt he was too heavy to even risk. So he became a ceiling hugger in the plane room. LOL

One other scheme that I've had my eye on is Grim Reaper. The possibilities of this build will be endless.

Omg! How these Mustang's run so wildly through my imaginations. It's really not difficult to understand why every little boy wants a Stang of their very own. Thank you for taking the time to share these awesome video's.

This is the red box I built about a million years ago.

Maybe I will do this one again. But then there is Grim Reaper also. And all those other gorgeous-looking schemes to do. Hey, I have a great idea. Maybe we should have another covering scheme contest!

Hey Rob,


If you are going full bore scale with your big Stang, I have access to a full scale restored P-51D about 45 minutes from my house. If you need any detail pictures, I'd be glad to get them for you. I can get pictures of anything you need as long as I can get it from the ground (I am not able to climb on the plane). . . . . . Just give me the word and I'll go on a field trip for you. I'm always looking for excuses to visit the museum so I'll be more than happy to go. . . . . .

Now hurry up and get that Velox done. . . . .

Wait what? Where at? That meens its not too far from me.
