    Always great to see another warbird taking shape! Will it be based in Europe then???

    Yes the fighter will be based in Germany. When this project is finished you can see 4 Mustangs in Germany ! Hope to see them in a formation flight 🙂

    1.69 million dollars sounds expensive for a Mustang construction kit.
    Airfix used to be a lot cheaper :diablo: Aerovet

    I really dont know the price of that project, but its bigger in scale as an Airfix-Kit :diablo: and I think the quality is a bit better :dev2: I know those big scale Airfix kits …… 😮

    That’s quite a fleet of Luftwaffe birds in that hangar.

    yes, its really stunning ! 3 Focke Wulf Fw190 A8/M , 2 Hispano Buchon and they await a Fw190 D9 as latest project ! 6 German fighters at one place, thats unique in Europe. 4 planes missing for the size of a “Staffel” :dev2:

    btw. the Buchon D-FMVS (Ex-Kindsvater) is in the shop. The plane is undergoing the 25h inspection

    of course the plane will get those anti-glare-panels above the exhaust and the exhaust matching to the -5 series. Here MeierMotors got help from Nelson Ezell and John Lane
