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 🙂
Mathias, thanks for the pictures. Something caught my eye though;please tell me more about the Porsche in the first couple of pictures.
Thanks
warren
I think its a Porsche Speedster … nice car but it cant fly and has no bentwing and of course no radial engine 😀 … a V12 either 🙁
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
small update
… and work is going on on the “Black Beauty” >> 19th November 2010

Here we are, here we go, the TF-project. I think I will start a new thread about this stunning project. As I said, the container arrived at Monday this week and yesterday I had the chance to visit the shop and look after that project …. what should I say … lot of work and the team has already started with maximum speed 🙂 >>>>> here is the new thread to that project http://forum.keypublishing.co.uk/showthread.php?p=1666307&posted=1#post1666307
