Uh-oh, Duggy replied too… I like my shiny Blackbird though, I’m gonna keep it :highly_amused:

A yes the mini-Stirling with Pobjoy engines.
Here’s the MXY6, which was a small-scale testbed for the J7W Shinden.

410 came out of hiding and quickly goes back again.

Finding engines and crew to fit the reduced scale tends to be the problem.
Yes I did mention that. But that B-17 for instance… the tailfin could’ve had the correct profile at least?

PS. Sorry for nagging, but why is it that “scale”, flying replicas always look so dreadfully wrong? Besides the obvious reason (cockpit, engines, CofG considerations), it seems builders don’t actually try to make the planes to scale. That B-17 is so close yet so far (tail fin!), and I’m glad we have a full-size Mossie flying again…
