Great appreciation for this aircraft...!

[@randyhodder8186]

Fantastic job

[@michaelwhite8031]

What a beauty

[@sblack48]

Drawer slides for canopy rails? Ugh....when the rest of the plane is so pretty.

[@sblack48]

Yes, in the Aviation Section

[@JackSmith-bu2yx]

What fuel type does the engine use?

[@Karuiko]

100LL Avgas

[@eddieosgood5809]

Are these the Stewart 51s or another replica?

[@Franky46Boy]

Another replica.
It says 'Thunder Mustang'

[@1littlelee]

nice aeroplane, but why use a potato to record it?

[@adamriffe3520]

How accurate to the original are they?

[@FiveCentsPlease]

+Adam Riffe It's a fiberglass kit plane. More affordable than a real example. www.thundermustang.com/

[@CPTLYNXY]

I think this particular aircraft is valued at the 350,000 dollar range. Because the engine alone is 80k

[@ashsmitty2244]

CPTLYNXY WOW. What is the engine?

[@CPTLYNXY]

@@ashsmitty2244 ryan falconer 12v 650bhp+

[@thepotentielhunter]

They are 80% scale. Their performance is close to the original, and I heard in certain conditions they even outperform their big brother. They seem very well made !

[@jesuschristneverlived6938]

I really want one of these. 300 grand!? Fuck me.

[@Chef.Darragh]

+JesusChristNeverLived you could get a Titan Mustang which is less than 100K!
