    P-40 Warhawk 1/2 Size Replica?

    that's a great answer to a lot of my questions, I do agree on the way the engine would kinda of stick out but not to much if the width of the front of the plane was decently sized to it and I figured it might look cool and the reason I liked the simplicity in the design its really simple. and I...
