Yeah, all the ones at the museum were built and not original. The scaled down versions still looked fun to fly.
This P-47 is a 70% reproduction
One exact 70% reproduction down to the rivets, was the Stewart 51. An advanced builder experimental P-51D. Even was powered by the Falconer V-12. Talk about a sexy kit plane.....
Mind the cheesy 1994 promotional music
