IPMS Region 4 John Glenn/Western Reserve

IPMS Region 4 John Glenn and Western Reserve model clubs held their model show last weekend, the 5th in Kirtland Ohio. I finally got the pictures from the show on-line and you can see them here.

Here is a teaser from that show.

looks like a great show Swanny,i’ve never been to one because nothing ever happens close to here…maybe one day

Hey Swanny (or anybody else?),

Can you maybe tel me what type that black prop-plane is with the yellow striping and the nr. 7??

t.i.a.

I believe that is a World Jet Mustang – basically a late model P-51 with ram jets on the wing tips. They actually did do development work on this aircraft and that model is done as a racing version. And it’s not really black but dark green.

Oke. Thanks for the reply Swanny.

Sorry, I only looked at the overview page. I took a closer look now and I saw it’s a scratchbuild converted Revell P51B in a very deep green color.

i have a Hasegawa kit that has the ram jets,it’s very hard to research,but i did manage to find a pic of it and it did exist
