In my never ending quest to improve my modeling skills I came across this guys site and was totally intimidated by this guy's ability. He has built 2 Corsairs and P51 completely in aluminum! He's a retired dentist in Hawaii. Have a look see:

Their was a guy, back about 10-15 years ago, who made a Radio Controlled 1/6 scale P-51D. His was also a metal model, but this one flew. Scale metal flying models aren't as rare as you might think. I hope it didn't end up like so many excellent scale model planes and crashed into a billion pieces. I did that twice. Once with a 1/6 Gee-Bee Senior Sportster, and once with a 1/6 Clipped Wing Monocoupe.

The gentleman's work is superb. "Can" he do a B-29 or maybe a B36??

From what I see, these models are static display pieces. He donated them to a museum. How about that!

Miniature works of art, for sure. Amazing.

I think he was featured in FSM a couple years ago, I remember seeing these before in a mag. Brilliant work!

those Planes are soo awesome
