sweet 109, the bigger the better, hope your gonna paint it in RNZAF colours not the god awful VF-17 job on NZ5648 at the moment!
Can't wait to see if any others jump on board, and a tiger or a tiger moth??

 

[109ROAMING]

Is that a joke Hunter?

Hate the colours of NZ5648

100% RNZAF proberly in the colours of Lil Audrey

How does that sound?

Seriously would like a road-going car in the shape of a fighter. Would have to check on engine size/type, and, of course, the U.K. laws for legality etc.
Taking things a little bit too far, can you imagine car-type Mustangs and '109's dog-fighting down a country lane.......? He, He!!

 

[109ROAMING]

One of those things ,go out the garage this afternoon and have alook around for some to start on

 

[109ROAMING]

I've started

I'm downloading some stuff from the technical section ,really just need some cross sectional drawings to start

Anyone got any?of and F4U-1/4 variant?

 

[Lucky13]

Dogfights with paintballs...! How cool would that be!?8)

 

[Airframes]

Tracer paint balls, of course. But I'd draw the line at incendiary paint balls!

 

[Lucky13]

Right....who's building a B-17, B-24 or any other bomber?

 

[109ROAMING]

Could put some some fireworks under the wings and say to everyone they're make believe rockets

 

[Lucky13]

How do we simulate dive bombing....?

 

[109ROAMING]

Hmmmm...sound system maybe?

[Heinz]

This has me mildly interested now.

A mosquito pedal car perhaps?

 

[109ROAMING]

A Mosquito would be pretty sweet Alex

Only ever seen single engine stuff

 

[Hunter Hawk]

It just has to be big!!! bigger the better and more realistic!!! 109 i hope ya gonna have the wings folding on ya corsair!!! and good choice for paint so painting my P-40 like the Wairarapa wildcat

 

[Airframes]

I'm really looking forward to seeing these mini-birds. How long do you reckon it will take?

 

[109ROAMING]

Good question Terry ,I've got exams in a month or so so that will halt construction because I'm gonna be studying so much ,couple og maonths maybe?

Yeah Hunter shes big,I thought it was getting to big and yeah folding wings are a must cause of the size
