Now if someone loved me

And I could talk some guys from Mauser into giving me some of the Weapons Museum 's MG151/20s

And I could get a trip to Richmond, Virginia with the finished plane...

I'd be able to settle my grudge with Microsoft the old-fashioned, manly way

I want one, and I want it NOW!:D If I could only win a big lottery, then I can retire and build that FW-190.

Looks like the Arado for 220k seems to be a real bargain. Does anyone know of a comparable (less than 2 tons, big engine, retractable gear, two seats) new aircraft - and how much it is?

Engine: Asch 82 FN / 14 cylinders, 42 ltrs, 1900 hp
direct fuel injected engine

Isn't this the same engine as the La-5FN and La-7 use?

If so, oh the irony.

With my 63 cents I found under my truck seat, we could just split it. I'll let ya have the first flight

I love these sort of builds.

If I could have, I would have got a couple of Thunder Mustangs back when they were making them.

The beauty of the design, with the benefit of modern technology without armour or guns. +5000 FPM climb.

Awesome.

What is so special with these FWs is that they are true 1:1 scale (most reps are 3:4 or 2:3 ) and structural clones.

Its been a long time 60+ years since anyone has seen one in the sky.
