Title: Where can I buy real ww2 Replica airplanes
Post by: ForrestS on July 12, 2007, 02:17:09 PM

I've been looking around alot and i found out that kit aeroplanes are cheaper than manufactured planes.

I was wandering if there is any Replica Kits of WW2 Fighters?

Flugwerks (or something like that) might still be making 51s, and 190A8s.
Maybe other models, check it out.

"Real Replica."

Is that anything like a "genuine artificial" ingredient?

I meant real as in real airplane, and not a model of balsa wood or something.

The Gen III/IV is a car engine isnt it?

FLUG WERK GmbH are going to build 190D's after their 190A-8's are finished right?

Flugwerk is doing 1 maybe 2 D9s as part of their 190 production run.

For what it's worth Paul Allen of Microsoft Fame etc has an amazing collection of aircraft and just added the FW190D13 to his collection.

He's also restoring a 190A5, and a B17E among others.  He has a P40B, P51D, Spitfire Vc, 109E etc all flyable.

Oh to have money.

you can purchase a yak3 from the russians for about $500k and it will be powered by an allison V1710 which as everyone knows (ask boroda) the evil americans copied from the brilliant soviet design the klimov.

I really liked the Spit on that first site. The tools looked simple and easy to obtain.

That would be a dream come true to build and fly my own spitfire.

Although on AH i often fly the Mustang or the lightning the spitfire is a really good plane.

Thank you!:D

You're welcome.
I have one on my wishlist as well. Let's say in 1009 I'll have my hands on one.

I mailed to them and they replied very quickly and nicely BTW.

Anyway, have to go away, - already drooling on my trousers :D
