I had the very distinct pleasure of growing up not too far from the Champlin Fighter Museum where the original of this painting, and many others, was displayed. This one was always one of my favorites as well and the original is simply fantastic. Does anyone know where all the ex-Champlin...

Sorry for digging up an old thread, came across it totally by accident. Can anyone shed any more light on what this aircraft is and/or who may have constructed it?

I have no info regarding the young lady, just happened to be in the right place at the right time.

The Thunder Mustangs utilize the Falconer V12. https://falconerengines.com/falconer_v12.php

I used the same kit for a "what if" group build over at Hyperscale a couple of years back. Just a quick and dirty project but the 138 has lots of potential for those who care to take more time with modifications. Look forward to the results of your build.

Bob Deford has been flying this aircraft for many years now and it has proven to be a solid and reliable airplane. He is a regular participant at the Planes of Fame airshow and the Spitfire has no problem blending right in with the "real" warbirds. Seems I have read somewhere that performance...

This is not a model aircraft.

Looks more like an air boat propeller or something similar than it does anything that would go on an airplane.

No, that would be the Flugwerk replicas which are full size. WAR replicas are half scale and generally powered by converted auto engines, at least they were back then anyway.

Not a sub scale homebuilt but rather a 1/3 scale r/c model. Models were used in the movie of the Mustangs and "Tora" Zeros as well as a massive B-29 model.

Brings back some very fond memories. The Planes of Fame airshows during the mid and late eighties were simply fantastic. They still are fantastic of course, but the atmosphere back then was entirely different and never to be repeated. It was a different era and I miss those days very much...
