Susan Lipscombe-Ridley, like many people, needs more space in her garage.

Good for her. I am surprised that more companies havent taken on building exact replicas of old WWII warcraft. Not rebuilt originals, but exact replicas
I bet there would be quite a market for it. Pricy yes, but I bet they would sell

You could even make business with replicas.. Hollywood would probably hire flighthours constantly to different movies.

Well.. at least they would have in the past. Now it's cheaper to make CGI even if it doesn't look as real.

The scene in the opening credits of "Band of Brothers", with the P-51D buzzing the camp, always bothered me for that reason.
