Hello,

I am wondering why the most replica warbirds are
complexive metal constructions or the other way
just planes, which looks like warbirds.

The way in between would be a wooden warbird.
Some for an example;
-LaGG-3 and LaG-5, russian fighters used in the middle of WW2.
-Ki-106, wooden version of Ki 84, end of WW2 ended the development
-Pyörremyrsky, finnish wooden version of the Bf 109G

But it seems that nobody builds some of them?
The LaGG-3 could be powerd by an Allison and the Ki-106 and the LaG-5
could be powered by an Ash 82. That would result in an real replica
of a WW2 Warbird, which easy to build and maintain, much easier and cheaper
than P51D , Fw190,...

MfG Thomas
