Building a 2/3 Scale Model of a P-51 Is Pretty Cool. Then He Goes and Climbs In It

Man, I thought it was one of those Guillow’s things at first. You know, put Tab A into Slot 14C and get cement all over your clothes and mom’s tabletop. That won’t cut it cut it with this guy. He built a 2/3 scale version of one of the coolest things ever made in America, the P-51 Mustang fighter plane from WW II.

It took him sixteen years to build it. He put a Corvette engine in it, because of course he did. After 5,000 man hours of riveting and looking for his tape measure, he took off in the thing. A man would have to be made of stone not to shed a tear at the wonder of it.
