    Awesome model aircraft

    This dude has made a 1/16th scale P-51 Mustang and an F-4U Corsair out of aluminium. All of the controls work !! He even made individual gun rounds out of brass in 3 pieces !!!


    I thought I could make okay things from alloy, suddenly I feel very inadequate !!

    A plane is a wood working tool.

    There's two different aircraft represented in those photos too.

    In other news, I've always known I was inadequate. I just work better with what I've got than most people.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Correct. That's why I quoted both aircraft types in my post.

    Maybe I should have not put "inadequte" either.
    I knew this would be bait for the fishermen...

    1/16th ain't big at all. The detail on those is truly insane!

    I've always liked the idea of a fully alluminium P-51/P-40/F4U/Spitfire with a working V-12 in it. Might get around to it in another 30 years when I have more time on my hands!

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    Clever bastard.

    Wounder if he could knock me up a P38 in his spare time?

    Thanks for sharing.
    Arguing with an Engineer is like wrestling a pig in mud.

    After a while you realise the pig is enjoying it.

    Awesome find Mr nudemetals
    Must remember to give you some bling when I've reloaded

    Before you judge a man, walk a mile in his shoes. After that, who cares? ...He's a mile away and you've got his shoes

    How much weight would I need to lose to fit into one?
