What a beauty eh?
The thing’s made from spruce and marine grade plywood. They have one
down at the air museum in Aaaaadmontin.
Wood is the material favoured by poets. Warriors work in metal
and steel. The visionaries with plastics, elastomers and composites.
It all flies.
And it’ll all kill.
Pretty as a picture. Some are just works of art are they not? Currently building a DR1 (Guillow's kit). First build in 30 years and am enjoying the ride. Was going to rubber FF it but just can't bring myself t "Crack the spars, leading and trailing edges" in order to build in non-scale dihedral in order to make it fly.
ReplyDeleteSolution? Build a SOPWITH tripe next. They had dihedral from the word go. :-)
Looks suspiciously similar to the DeHavilland Mosquito.
ReplyDeleteYup, the Commonwealth had some awesome war birds and gear.
ReplyDeleteThe Rolls Royce power plant made the Mustang, legendary. As were the supercharged Spitfires.
Unfortunately, we were ruled and killed by (((Reptilian)))
manipulation, even before then. Their time will come.
RELEASE THE TERMITES!!!!
ReplyDeleteTermites don't like Resourcinol glue.
DeleteOur P-38s were much more cool.
ReplyDeletePerhaps - but your P38s don’t have the soul. Mind you, not many war machines do. Both were the first of their breed - the so-called fighter/attack planes. They both probly killed a lot of our guys too, as they learned the new science of close air support. In their day they were both speed demons.
DeleteRoger that!
