Anyone up for building a 1/3 scale Hornet?

Too bad it's a hermaphrodite. J forward fuselage, A-G aft fuselage, if it's a J where's it's missing the tail gun position, early style collector exhaust kind of like Johnny Cash's famous piece by piece Cadillac.

It has real 400cc radial engines in it. Each engine is around $6000.
