I'd like to join the brotherhood.
For initiation, I offer up my Top Flight GS P47. G62, Robart Retracts. Built from the ARC kit, glassed, and painted. I took features from several planes to create this fictional paint scheme. It's mostly a mish-mash of Gabby Gabrieski's camoflage paint job, and the nose art from Miss Behave. I did not go nuts on scale bits, like inner gear doors or tail doors, or bomb hangars, but I did go nuts on the weathering. This is (was) my weekend beater.

Unfortunately, I landed her upside down at 100MPH+, on her 141st flight, and sold the remains to a buddy of mine...which led to the purchase of the bigger, hopefully better, Robart Ziroli...

One of our better builder/flyers has a plans built Ziroli... 92" i the Gabreski camouflage paint job w/ a 80 cc zenoah GT twin. full out low pass is around 114 mph GPS verified both GS and Air Speed. Their great plane sU'll enjoy it I'm sure. Happier Landings.
