Post by pickelhaube » Sat Feb 07, 2009 10:18 am

Ok we are narrowing it down. 32 guys voted . I think that is the amount of guys who activly post maybe 40 I really don't know.
But here are the quarters. Next will be semi then the finals. I wonder what the consensess will be for the number one ?

Speak up guys this is what you want this is what you get. Reminds me of an old Punk rock song. :D :D :D

Matthew, from one Louisiana guy to another.........P-39 please! How cool would it look with its tricycle gear, rear mounted engine. Cockpit doors, just one great looking plane.

I'm with Sabrefan on this one. A P-39 would be almost as good as some fresh hot cornbread. :D
Fred, really looking forward to the JSI 1/18th scale Grumman F-14 Tomcat.

One of my favs Paul that is for sure. Then again I only put up the ones that I wanted . Of course having every single WW2 fighter would be a dream come true. But that would never happen. Plus were in the heck would you put them all. :shock: :shock: :shock:

That is true Matthew, I have no idea where I would put them all. But, I would find some room for an Airacobra! :D

It looks like a landslide .

Is the P-39 going to be the next aircraft custom ? Only the half amount of votes. I cut some off of the other list . Did I cut other guys wants by doing this ?

Hey Pickel, I've been working on one of these for a while and have almost finished the tail boom. I'd be glad to let you sell it as a kit when I'm finished with mine. Maybe in the mean time you could do the wildcat or Tony.. :D

Hey B-29 thanks for the offer. I have the Tony about 80 % done. But I wanted to get a poll out to see what the majority voice would be for a custom plane ( other than a A-10) and in WW2 era. I thought that the Wildcat would be in the top 3 but it does not look like it so far.
Thanks for the P-39 offer it is very kind of you.
I am not sure how you built yours but when I build my customs the first thing that I look at before I even start is "how can I make copies of this ". So my building process is a lot different than a "one of rendition" I actually make mine in pieces to be broke down a hundred times in the construction. Believe me this is way harder than a "one of " build. It is like 30-40 mini models that fit into one large model. So each one can be cast seperate.

A couple more votes ( 6 ) and I think we are ready for the finals.

Actually, I did build mine with this in mind. I was planning to cast several and sell them on ebay. I'm happy to say I even found a resin strong enough for landing gear. I've been using your P-36 kit as a model of how to break things down for easier casting.
