Fw-190?

[scott_fitz96]

Correction: on Googling the registrations (why did I not think of that earlier?)

VH-FWB is an 80% scale Focke-Wulf 190 that tours around Queensland for various airshows.

VH-YNO is a Yak-52 in Japanese World War 2 paintscheme, often accompanied by a similar aircraft in USAF scheme.

So there you have it. On the earlier subject of restoration, I have a website here that may be of interest: http://www.beaufortrestoration.com.au/index.htm

These are the people behind the plan to restore to airworthiness the only flying Beaufort bomber in the world. Quite remarkable considering they're doing it mainly from scratch!

More pics when I upload them...

Supposed to look like a Japanese Val. No known ORIGINALS are still flying. The Vultee BT-13/BT-15 Valiant Trainer was similar enough in appearance to be disquised as a Val for the 1970 war movie TORA! TORA! TORA!

Want to thank all of you who replied to my question. All the info shared was helpful.

I look at the picture of the 80% scale replica taking off with pilot and get this impression of a toy FW that's a lot smaller than 80%. Then I stopped and did some math. 80% in 3 dimensions is 80% x 80% x 80% volume, 51.2% total volume. No wonder they are so much cheaper to build, it's only half-size!

Terry Kronk is the owner of the replica 190, and several other replicas. Last I knew it was powered by a Russian MP-14 400hp I think.... I want to build one just like it.... (I had a 60% scale replica but sold it).
