Love Old Planes

[munzieb]

Back to aircraft again. Germans called it the Forked Tail Devil. It flew like hell at 443 kts top speed. I did a lot of pixel gobbling to get the design right and the lines are very thin. 1/8" BBPW on 1/4" PW and 2 coats Shellac and ? coats lacquer. Love the old birds.

That airplane is the sole reason I found my love of military history.  Hated those classes in school, I couldn't ever keep up with the rote memorization of names/dates that it seemed like they wanted.  But the P38....loved that plane (and its big brother, the P61 Black Widow!!!).  I wanted to know a bit more about it, so I bought a book "The Last Great Ace" about Maj. Thomas McGuire....and that was it.  LOL  The Pacific air war led to US Marines and island-hopping and Vinegar Joe Stillwell's CBI, then globejumped to the European Theater.  But the P38 is always at the front!

 

Love the pattern, love the cut, great frame job as well!  Really makes the plane stand out.  Is the pattern available?

Beautifully cut.

Nicely cut.
I too love the WWII and WWI planes. The Spitfire, Beaufighter and Mosquito are my favourites. I haven't cut any out, but had probably 50 - 60 airfix models BM (Before Marriage)
