ssculptor Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 On consideration, the Air Forces rejection of the Airacuda was probably a good thing. It would have ended up like the Me-110, an escort fighter that needed its own fighter escort. Sleek looking plane, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radders Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 What's the chances of this being at Telford? I'd love to see it in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hansen Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 I met Bill once at the IPMS Nationals in Orlando, FL. A Class Act. His online builds of the AM kits were very useful and instructive. Great looking Airacuda, but i don't find that at all surprising. -d- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
