    Focke Wulf 190 80% Scale

    Mr. Spinneti, You could do worse than build and RV-4 that looked like a FW-190. Actually, an RV-8 even better. The fact is, Terry Kronk based his FW-190 on the RV series, not just the construction method, but all the controls and control surfaces are based on the RV. The wing profile is...

    WW2-ize your photos!

    You can actually do the same with your videos. I use Windows Movie Maker, and you have a few options as to how 'old' you want to make the footage, as well as adding grayscale and sepia tone . I have used it so,e of the FW-190 footage posted recently. Martin

    Focke Wulf 190 80% Scale

    Hi Ed, Yes, the Mustang has flown, but prop problems have necessitated a re-think. A King-Air prop is currently being modified for use, so will be test flown again in the coming weeks. Martin

    P-51 Replica. It's a Slow Day, so Let's Design One.

    Hi Tom, No website for Terry I'm afraid. He keeps a low profile and would rather his aircraft do the talking. Hence me posting here so that others can see what amazing things are possible. Look at the 80% scale FW-190 topic to see what I mean Cheers Martin
