and this has got to be one of the most detailed models I have ever seen, it is an exact replica of a P-51D Mustang, and it was made by a retired dentist who used some of his instruments to create it, built on a 1/16 scale, every part is fully functional,
the undercarriage retracts and the controls work, although the levers are so small they have to be operated with a pair of tweezers. Young C Park, from Honolulu, took three years and 6,000 hours to complete the model, the aircraft is 25in long, 10in high and has a wingspan of 27in, it is now on display at the Joe Martin Foundation Craftsmanship Museum in Vista, California, how absolutely amazing,
also if you want to take a tour around this fascinating museum with out leaving your computer click here, it is well worth the visit.
