HOLY WOW!!!!!!
That is AWESOME
I wonder what it would be like if it were radio controlled???
Of course I dont think I would want to take the chance of destroying it, which most radio controlled cars do get some form of road rash in their first trips. Road rash for this car would be extremely expensive I bet.
It ONLY took 15 years to build.

Shep I have t o agree with ya on the corsair, one of the most magnificent tail draggers ever built, and these models are mind blowing! I wonder how much they are? hmmmmmmmmmmmm

AWSOME!!!!!
I don't have RealPlayer up & running so haven't had a chance to view the Ferrari clip yet but the sound of that little 12 cylinder DOES sound like the real deal!! I'm really looking forward to checking out the rest of their web site!!
The Corsair model is priced at $12,500 but if that's not in the budget you can buy it's Pratt & Whitney engine for only $1,200! That might seem excessive but when you look at what you're getting, it seems reasonable to me.
I've seen a lot of posts on the Bullboard about how no one's willing to pay for top-end products but also noticed that these folks offered the Willys MB Jeep models at $2,195 each and sold out the series (230 units) which equals $504,850 gross revenue for that model!! Sure they're expensive but as they said "Quality does have a market"!!!!!!
I'm gonna start saving up for one of their Lockeed P-38 Lightning's!! (hope they don't sell out before I get the money) Meanwhile, I noticed they're offering 1:8 scale model Thompson M1A1 machine guns for only $250, hmmm.......
