For some time i was salivating over the Nexa P-82. There were only around 270 of these built in the late 1940's so it is a rare and cool fighter.
Finally had the money and bought it in March. I put in a 6S power system using two 4000s for long flights with a four bladed prop from the Freewing "Old Crow".
The wannabe scale builder in me decided that it needed working gear doors, so I bought a set of "Old Crow" doors and a gear door sequencer, then modified them to fit. I also added retractable tail wheels with doors. Of course it needed navigation and landing lights (From "Old Crow" as well).
Callie graphics provided decals, the Name "Double Trouble" seemed appropriate, and a set of P-51 scale markings really tricked it out. Finally, I used two different pilots rather than the twins that come with the kit.
Unfortunately getting error uploading the pics. Will try another post

Beautiful work there, f4uausie! I have thought of getting one, just haven't pulled the trigger on buying one yet. Yours really looks nice. Funny, when I was growing up in the USA, I dreamed of flying for Qantas Airways someday. Nothing came of it, hard for a "Yank" to get a job down there. I did get to meet and know a bunch of Aussies on layovers in Asia, though. Great guys, all!Originally posted by f4u ausie View PostWell its finished bar qantas logo.... contacted callie, but ended up doing it myself by hand..... wunala dreaming ,, an aboriginal art painted 747 qantas.... lota hours
