Mick Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 The Temora Aviation Museum hosted one of the highest standard scale model competitions held in this country last weekend. Modellers travelled form all over Australia and from New Zealand to attend. I was fortunate to be invited to compete in the "Flying Only" category with my 1/6 scale P-47 Thunderbolt ( 2050mm wingspan ). See photo attached.

Guest High Plains Drifter Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Via the photo link - amazing detail on those aircraft. Is there any Utube vid for the B17? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted November 16, 2008 Author Share Posted November 16, 2008 HPD Yes their is some video on Utube, I can't find the link but if you search for steve thomas B-17 wingspan models you should come up with something. This model is 20 feet in span, powered by 4 x 50cc engines and is really something special to see fly!!!! The detail is also amazing.
