Post-War Racers and Aerobats

[Flynlo]

1/48 Monogram AT-6 modified for airshows. Clipped wings with tip plates and "Smokewinder" smoke generators, DC-3 propeller and P-51A spinner.


1148 Monogram "Miss America". One of the best looking Unlimiteds!

1/48 Testors (Hawk) F8F Al Williams "Gulfhawk 4"

1/32 Revell P-40 Built for a "Barn Find" diorama that never happened. The back story is a war surplus P-40 converted to dual controls for ride hopping and air racing. A ground loop has put an end to the fun with only the wingtip and aileron being repaired before the money and the interest dried up.

Great work!  Those air racers are colorful and fascinating.

As a heads-up: the Czech company Dora Wings has released a whole series of 1/48 scale P-63 King Cobra kits. One is an air racer in Sohio Handicap markings. They include photo-etched parts. I got the French Air Force/Indochina version and they look nice in the box.  Sort of an "upscale limited run" kit is how I'd describe them.

Here's a review of the P-63E kit and a photo. NOT my build (I wish!).  The photo is from the Dora website.

Thanks guys, i have Super Corsair race 57 started, Paul Mantz' red P-51and Cobras I and II still in the box. 

I don't get much time to model now days...even working at home these past few weeks. Too many projects?
