It probably depends on if they are working with an active model or they have to start from scratch.  For example, the P47M project probably didn't take as long as say the brewster or i16.  Also, I'm sure it helps when you have guys like Greebo who will skin for you as you finish up the model so it's one less thing you have to worry about.    :aok

I remember pyro giving a rough estimate once in a post that was related to someone complaining about the fact that they made a new plane for the convention but hadn't added any other planes. As usual and as typical, whoever that person was did not think before typing and making a con plane doesn't require the time to make an actual model. Pyro pointed this out and said a con planes takes roughly x and a real plane takes about y hours. I don't remember the actual numbers but you could probably search and find it.

I think it was a con plane, it may have been Santa or the Great Pumpkin or something like that. Can't remember exactly.

I heard it was about the same amount of time to get to the juicy tootsie roll center of a tootsie roll pop.

Ok thanks, that sort of answers my question anyway, I just wondered if folks realized what they are asking for each time they request a new this or that.  I suspected that each plane type might vary in research and developement time etc etc

I wonder what their process of research for planes they add. Does any of them go and fly the real deal?

I believe when the opportunity arises they, or at least HiTech does and has some stick time in a P-51.  Don't know if anyone else at HTC flies.
