Administrators Clunkmeister Posted May 23, 2019 Administrators 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

Administrators Clunkmeister Posted May 23, 2019 Author Administrators 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
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted May 23, 2019 Author Administrators 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
harv Posted May 23, 2019 Posted May 23, 2019 Well I'm pretty jazzed about my KI 45..of course a HPH B52 would be the beez kneez.....harv 2

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
