The photo above is
a Curtiss P6F "Super Hawk".
Greetings. I saw
"Silly Week" was approaching and I had some items that would fit
right in. I've always enjoyed building "What If's" because the builder
is in control- not the kit instructions.
Photos 2, 3, 4, 5
are of the Lascraft model 44 "Intimidator" torpedo fighter/bomber. It
was converted for a long distance flight attempt.
Photos 6 and 7 are
of the Lascraft model 1 "Pelican", USAAF light amphibious
observiation aircraft.

of the Republic YA-47 "Rebel". They were extensively tested,
manned by a crew of three and equipted with early radar.
Photos 11, 12, 13

& Whitney R-2800 driving a P-51 Mustang prop and spinner. P-80 tip tanks
were installed to improve range.

Photos 14, 15, 16,
17, 18, 19 are of the Avia S.199 Super Mule "Avia Tricks". Built-up
strictly from Avia-made aircraft components found in the rafters of the old
factory, this Racing Mule uses a deep Hurricane radiator.
Hope you enjoyed the madness.
Thanks to Steve- for all your hard
work.
