Administrators Clunkmeister Posted May 23, 2019 Administrators Share Posted May 23, 2019 Thanks to Smitty and an early morning tip, I snagged this on eBay for less than MSRP. Red Baron is easily my favorite Mustang racer, followed by Precious Metal and Sumthin Else. I built one a few years back, then gave it to a friend and it’s in his case now. I’ve always wanted to do the ultimate air racer again, this time for me. The incomparable Griffon engined RB-51. I was heartbroken when she got dumped, but maybe she’ll one day rise from the ashes to grace the skies again. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Clunkmeister Posted May 23, 2019 Author Administrators Share Posted May 23, 2019 I remember Steve Hinton's crash like it was yesterday. John Crocker in "Sumthin Else" was in the lead and Hinton in "Red Baron" was trying to catch him. It was a helluva race, the best I had ever seen, actually. Just the fact that a Griffon engined Mustang couldn't catch a Merlin, in retrospect, should have been a clue that something was amiss. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Clunkmeister Posted May 23, 2019 Author Administrators Share Posted May 23, 2019 Smitty, you got me there. Yes, my sentimental favorite, BY FAR, is Miss America. She has to be the most famous P-51 racer of all time. Are we sure that engine is a Rolls? it's painted Caterpillar yellow 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m already doing September Fury and a PBY... Not sure I’ll have the time. Of course I’d love to do a Canadair CT-133 Silver Star as well. THAT would be a good foil candidate. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
