[BITList] Simply amazing.

I used to have enough trouble with the full size models(Tiger Moths mainly)

DETAIL Doesn't Get Any Better Than This!!!

This is unbelievable!!!*The Worker - The skills of Young Park (a Hawaii 
resident)
*
[]

*The workshop - just like yours.....

[]

P51 Mustang

[]

Corsair
[]

[]

[]
*
* The fingers and tweezers.

[]
Using a tweezers, the controls can be moved. All cables and linkages are 
in place to work the wing control *
*surfaces as well. Young Park has since carved a pilot's face and hands 
from solid aluminum and built an
articulated pilot to sit in the cockpit./(Photo: George F. Lee, Honolulu 
Star-Bulletin)
/Here's pic of fingers and tweezers to give scale......... Sooooo 
small!!!**Remember this as you look at the pics....
All the controls work as designed, by cables, chains, linkages and levers.

[]

[]

[]
All these controls WORK!!!!!........ And that means they work the parts
of the aircraft via rods and chains as in the original aircraft!!!!
Every single part hand made and fitted.

[]

[]

[]
Don't forget the tiny scale

[]

[]

[]

[]

[]

[]
Machine guns and bullets.........Detail of three ..50 Cal. Machine guns 
and ammo cans.
Ammo cans are loaded outside the aircraft and then simply set into place 
in the wing.
Their doors become the top surface of the wing. This allowed for rapid 
reloading by the ground crew.*

*Mr. Park generously donated the first (cutaway) Corsair model to the 
Joe Martin Foundation. It can be seen in person in its display at the 
Foundation's museum in the Sherline building in Vista , California .. A 
collection of photos showing how the model was built and all the 
historical data on the Corsair Mr. Park collected to build it has also 
been donated and is available for viewing. In 2005, Mr. Park also 
donated the second corsair and it is also now on display in the 
Foundation's museum.

[]

Showing the extent of his carving skills, Mr. Park sculpted a pilot's 
head and hands out of*
*solid aluminum. The articulated figure is dressed in a custom made 
uniform and can be placed*
*in any position to give a good sense of scale to the model. *

[]
*P51 MUSTANG *

[]

[]

[]

[]

[]
*Inside the left wing you can see the .50 cal ammunition threaded into 
the three wing guns.*
*Each round is machined in 3 parts**苑**rass cartridge with copper 
bullet and primer and is *
*held together with a small copper feed jacket. *

[]

[]

*Engine exhaust ports....... Pic taken during assembly. *

[]
*Control wires are being threaded around their pulleys underneath*
*the cockpit during construction. (Y. Park photo) *

[]
*The radiator air intake sits under the fuselage ready for installation. 
Much of*
*the detail of some of the parts is hidden once it is assembled. (Y. 
Park photo) *

[]
*The wing being made.............. LOOK how SMALL it is *

[]
*Each panel is hand formed over a wooden shape. The metal is annealed to 
the proper softness and then pounded and bent into shape.*
*The plane is made up of many individual panels, and the fits between 
panels are just about perfect. (Y. Park photo)*

[]
Here we see the panel above in it's final position. Looks easy now, 
doesn't it? (Y. Park photo)

[]
*The form for the air intake and the final part. As is often the case in 
machining and model making, fixtures, moulds, formers and jigs to
make the final parts can take a long time to make and are never seen by 
the public viewing the finished model. (Y. Park photo)*
