I used to be a ramp monkey at GRR in Grand Rapids, MI.
Guy landed one of those subscale -51's. Looked authentic until he landed and then we had questions. When he taxied up next to a Cessna 172 and it was damn near the same size we were all laughing. Cool none-the-less.
Several years ago there was a company making full scale P-51 Mustangs out of some sort of poly material. Very interesting. Showed it at EAA and advertised...never went anywhere. Case of bad marketing and "buyer surveying" in my opinion.
Then there are the Polikarev I-153 and I-16 fighters...
Pretty damn cool. I've always read that if they had just gotten better engines the 262 would have really been something to worry about...
...well, and more of them as a whole.
