Name that air plane

Impressive xeno!

I always enjoyed making them.

Trying to match photos of actual combat equipment and making them as kits was always fun.

 

[Mad Scientist]

Yo, Scientist, did you make those models yourself? If so OUTSTANDING DUDE!


Cheers Mate!

Well, no actually I got those off the internet. I haven't built plastic models in quite a while. I'm more into flying R/C models. Here's a few recent examples of my work:

Mountain Models "Switchback"

GWS "Mustang" painted to match a favorite racer of mine.

Sig "Four-Star 40". All my models are electric, I switched over from nitro about ten years ago.

 

[ABikerSailor]

NICE dude!

How hard is it to learn to fly those things?

Except for the rudder and the leading edge of the wing, the P-51 looks very close to scale, how does it fly?

It occurs to me we could turn this into a game.

Name this plane:

Savoia Marchetti SM.79

OK I'll play, name this plane:

Xenophon, make sure you don't have the name of the plane coded into the pic!

It flies really nice. I clipped the wingtips a bit for scale so it was a little fast on landing. Other than that I enjoyed it. It's all foam by the way and the four bladed propeller is functional but I lost a little bit of speed as a result.
I plan to build another one using a brushless motor and Li-Poly batteries and keep it light.

That was because it was from private collection.

That is a Severski P-35, forunner of the powerful P-47 Thunderbolt.
