Pattern was from Scrollsaw Woodworking & Crafts:





Mostly Tiger Maple (Thanks Fred for helping with that FredP!!!).

That is pretty neat. I bet it was fun to build:3dblob3:

Without a doubt. I already have the beginnings for 3 more aircraft cut out.

That's a neat plane! Good job on a cool project!

Now there's a project I wouldn't have thought of making - very cool!

The rolling wheels & rotating props top it off. :icon_thum

That turned out really nice, looks much better than the plastic model I put together a while ago(18 years or so). My dad got me into models when I was younger, and that was one of the last ones we did before I got too old. He passed away before I grew up and realized it doesn't matter if it's "cool" or not, as long as it's something you like to do. Seeing that plane in wood brings back memories, thanks.
Like Robert, I was considering it. Anthony saw it in the magazine and asked about it. I guess we'll have to start it together when he gets back from vacation with his mom. My only fear is that Joshua(the youngest one) will see it and claim Anthony's work as his toy. A six year old flying a 2 pound wooden plane could spell trouble.

Great looking plane! I love planes and would be interested in seeing the next 3 you have planned.

I just got all the technical drawings for the P-40 Curtis Warhawk (and variants), so my first attempt at my own pattern is coming up.

 

[Hook]

All right, slowly back away from the scrollsaw! This is getting addicting!

 

[TracyP]

Nice, really nice! Isn't this hobby addictive?

IIRC, the designation for that particular aircraft was P-38 Lightning.
My father was a flight mechanic assigned to one of these in WWII.
He was never overseas but was stationed at Pensacola, Fla. as an
instructor for flight mechanics.

Those, and the P-51 are my favorite aircraft.

Oh, yeah, good job!!! :icon_thum

Thanks,

Planes, trains, and automobiles (trucks). There is no stopping you. Scrolling is as addictive as turning. :wsmile:
