It was a bit funny to me to look at the cost per mile on these.
Like, "yeah, I'm gonna use one of these for my personal transportation needs, of course!"

[matthayward]

Always wondered how much one of these replicas would cost to run. Thank you!

The Mustang has to be the plane with the most replicas...

You can build a Titan T-51 with a 6.2 LS3 v8; 3/4 scale mustang with 3/4 a v-12. I daydream about building one of those in my retirement one day...

Bro! You have me ROLLING on these videos! "THUNDER!"

[RicktheCrofter]

I build my own P-51D replica. 1/72 scale. Much more affordable. But it doesn’t fly very well.

[brandonsimunac]

The ScaleWings was recently featured in a Kitplanes mag release. Sounds like a pretty skookum unit!

[excellenceinanimation]

Thanks for making this! (: still more than I got but maybe one day! Are there any replica jugs?

[matthewmillar]

Looked up the SW51 mustang like you suggested. I couldn't tell the difference between the photo and your drawing. 😉

[williamroberts]

Love your work. Keep it up, and thanks. And if you're a dad, Happy Father's day - not sure if you all celebrate that US holiday in Canada... eh? 🤣

[ChuckThree]

Well would you look at that, it appears you already have a JMB VL3 drawing. Might as well do an video on it I suppose 😎

[FasterLower]

And who wouldn't want to be your friend. Great video as always

[tds]

You have the image of the VL3, please please please do that in an upcoming video. Although my wallet says make it way more expensive than I think it is.

[kiwiboater]

As someone who draws. Your drawings are great. Cool video 👍

The Thunder (Nice AC/DC clip by the way) made me jump out of my seat.
