With several scale P-51 replicas to choose from, ScaleWings’ carbon fiber version offers the Revell-model ease of assembly, while retaining the all-metal “look.” The Germany-based company painstakingly duplicated all the rivets, screws, hardware—even replicated the fabric-covered rudder—with indentations in the factory molds. Many people assume it’s actually a metal airplane. AVweb examined the scale kit at AirVenture in July 2022 and shot this video report.

How To Avoid Having A Skydiver For A Hood Ornament
Pilots are often nervous about flying into or around airports with skydiving operations. There's really no need to be, as Paul Bertorelli explains in...
Nice, but it reminds me of a Lamborghini Countach kit car.
That is pretty cool. What an interesting concept, a scale model of a P-51 you can get into and fly. It is only time before you see these at Reno with the Falconair V-12 in it.
I’m not in the market, so not sure my thoughts count, but I think I would be more interested in a less exact copy. Don’t really need fake exhausts and rivets despite the fact the craft behind the fake rivets is first class (it’s seriously impressive, just not what I would want).
OTOH, if those fake exhausts are what leads to the sound then it might be worth it. The plane sounds great.
What about armament? and drop tanks..? ;>)
140 HP P51, must be a thrilling ride
