I am thinking entering a F-82 Twin Mustang. Any thoughts, comments or suggests?

Yes, I was thinking of attempting this plane. I always thought it was odd but yet cool looking plane. But there can be mutiple entries of the same plane, right?

The F-82 could be an easier twin-engine aircraft to build as opposed to creating something from scratch... all you need are two 21c or BBI P-51s, the stabilizer from a 21c P-38, a saw, some glue, putty, paint, decals...

Yes.You guys can have multiple entries or build the same plane. All great choices. How about a twin Me-109.

Any objections to me entering that 1/32 B-25 I just completed. It's twin engine and its as big as a single engine 1/18 bird, LOL

Just had to ask, chuckles

Dang, I was thinking of that as well. It looks like it might be one of the easier kit bashes to do. Unfortunately, no time to build them right now. Just time to buy them.

Sorry Corey,
This contest is for 1/18th scale only.
I guess I need to have a 1/32nd contest next year just for you guys. I like the scale too but I haven't done anything as nice as your B-25.

You may use any material you wish.

The contest ends September 15 so get busy.

Prizes: Bad Cat Aviation Toys has graciously donated an F-86 Sabre, also I
personally will give a $200.00 Bad Cat Gift certificate and a 1/18th scale Germany Exclusive Panzer IV ( the one you never see on evil bay).
Winner gets it all.

Good luck gentlemen and thanks to Bad Cat Aviation for supporting this second contest.

Is the Northrop N-9M acceptable?
It's one of my favorite planes

Yep.You can do a YB-49 if you like. Just as long as it has at least 2 engines and is 1/18th scale.

Actually, from the cockpit back, the fuselages aren't the same as a P-51.

The F-82 is a bit longer and the tail has longer spin running down the top of the fuselage. I'm not 100% sure but this but I think the landing gears might also be different. Anyone know if this is correct. I have got my two Laura Michelle P-51s and will start cut this coming week, I hope

KAGNEW · Post by **KAGNEW** » Fri Aug 11, 2006 5:26 pm

to make an accurate F-82 out of a P-51D would be almost impossible
if you started with a P-51H it would be easier.
good luck

Just started building the fuselage for my Bf110. I'm planning on building up the balsa body, sheeting - then glassing a mold - then maybe rotationally casting the fuselage with resin so I can have a hollow fuselage. How many of you guys are building your birds with a clear canopy and fitted cockpit, and how many are having a solid blanked out canopy? Be great to be able to have a semi detailed cockpit with a 1/18 fig inside.

As I've alluded to in several other posts, I just completed a scratch built 1:18 aircraft (hence my need for pilots). I keep counting the engines and yup, there's still only 1. Insert bad words here...

Je suppose que tu parles de Militoys. En effet, les avions étaient bien fait. J'aime surtout le FW 190

One little idea here...

Does it have to have 2 engines... or 2 props?

Also, is a concept aircraft ok?

Sorrry for so many questions

KAMIKAZE · Post by **KAMIKAZE** » Fri Aug 18, 2006 7:54 pm

I only stipulated 2 engines. One prop is ok.

Mark

Moth · Post by **Moth** » Fri Aug 18, 2006 8:43 pm

I was getting at 2 props, 1 engine, im trying to make something a bit simplier.

Is single engine, but with 2 contra-rotating props acceptable or no?

KAMIKAZE · Post by **KAMIKAZE** » Sat Aug 19, 2006 3:13 pm

Well I was trying to get you guys to build twin engine planes to get 21st and others interested in building them. I think I should stick to the original rules that you should have two engines. It wouldn't be fair to the others in the contest if I changed the rules. Sorry Moth. Maybe sometime this next year we can have a contest for the best new fighter plane.

Mark

Moth · Post by **Moth** » Sat Aug 19, 2006 3:29 pm

Okay, no problem, no need for apologizes, I should be saying sorry for so many questions.

KAMIKAZE · Post by **KAMIKAZE** » Fri Aug 25, 2006 8:16 pm

How are you guys doing on your planes?
Since the arrival of some cheap German exclusive Panzers, I will give the winner of the contest a choice of alternates if he or she wishes to in order to offer something that you guys may not have already.
