Barry Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Very cool! In high school shop class during the war my dad and class mates interested in modeling carved solid recognition models for use by the military. He set me down one afternoon and from the corner block and a slat from a peach crate he carved a P-51B and it looked just like one.

Barry When I was young my dad gave me his box of carving wood blocks and a few uncompleted recognition models. I still have the guidebook given out by the government about what and how to carve the planes. We carved on a few but mainly built Guillows kits.
