To me they are better looking than their german relative but still retain the rugged fighter look of the 109.Just shows how good the original 109g series was.
I visit the museum on a fairly regular basis and visited on 22nd as part of our local bbc stations Big Day Out where heritage sites within our county just for one day open for free.The weather was poor so just would like to know how the day went for howard and the team.
From what has been mentioned and i don,t know a lot about aircraft construction that starting again from scratch would possibly the only option.I totally agree that the wapiti is a very much over looked aircraft in terms of a replica weather flying or not.
Its a shame nothing has come of it,the westland wallacewapiti is one of my favorite large biplanes.May be one day some one will continue with it or start a new build replica.
As others have said there is something wrong with the pictures.The close up of the roundal area for me is a little odd.The structure appears right but the paint work is in a condition i would not expect.Also surely the cockpit would have more sand in it if the canopy was left open for 70 odd years.Somebody prove me wrong!
