Default RE: Avoiding "ME TOO" models

You'r right. If I see one more P-51, I think I'll get sick. Don't get me wrong, I think the mustang is a beautiful plane, but it seems like everybody and his brother has had a P51 at one time or another. I'm guilty, I have one too. It was when I showed up at the field one day with my Mustang and someone had one there already, I decided to do something different.

My dad used to own a full size Stinson 108-3 Flying Station Wagon. So I modeled it. Shown here is a 1/5 scale and I also have a 1/10 scale.

Warbirds? I have an Ilushyn IL-2 Stormovik.

The only problem I have is finding good 3-views to start with. I used some 3 views from a Squadron/Signal publication for the Stormovik. The're pretty close, but I don't think you could use them in competition.
