Default RE: CMP 80

Thank you. Just trying few theories about scale representation on a model and personal growth. The P40 has some interesting things like custom machined oleo struts & wheels, functioning gill flaps, custom made exhaust stacks, sliding canopy with the pulleys and recessed mechanism, etc.,. Fun stuff to figure out and execute. All that was is in prep for the CMP Zero build this winter, and that is a prep for something more in line with my Aluminum Overcast handle....If all goes as planned a huge 210" B17 with 4 asp radials so the zero with it's singe ASP radial is a stepping stone as was the P40. The B17 will take a few years to complete so we'll see how it goes. Can you imagine the combined sound of 20 cylinders of 4 stroke music? It's a dream that I would like to realize some day.

link to my ASP break in: love the idle at 9:06 along the time code!
