Denny Greenwell and I had a passion for the great fighter planes of
World War II. We both had P-40s and P-51s of various sizes. Above is
Denny's scale P-40 he built. My brother Bennie shot this photo and a
bunch like it, trying to capture that scale appearance. The plane
looks sharp, indeed. I don't recall how it flew, though I believe he
did fly it, though not extensively. I'm not sure who created the kit,
but the entire ship is sheeted balsa. The leadouts exit the fuselage
above the wing instead of through it. For a ship powered by a K&B
Stallion .35, I always thought it to be small. Perhaps it was the
heavy sheeting that made it require the larger motor. |
