Looks like they also have a Yak and Zero.

I'm in love with the Zero and thinking it'd be great to see a P-40E to go along with it!

That 109 is freaking AMAZING. It looks fantastic - someone really did their homework. Those flybys looked exactly like a full sized 109 beating up a field.

Wow, the 109 looks fantastic! We need an airshow act with that dogfighting either a Scale Wings or Thunder Mustang. The Zero and Yak are both cool, too.

Really impressive work with all three of those scale replicas!

A couple days ago I had also noticed these still shots of that same replica Bf 109, now with some more markings added:

I watched the 109 walk around vid and could not see any sign of a reg#, any idea where these are based? Very sharp replicas for sure

They're based in the Czech Republic. Pretty cool that these fall within the LSA category.

Often you have to compromise the looks.......

For multiple reasons mostly aerodynamics.

But these hit it on the nail really nice......

If they did.....they have done it in a very subtle way.

Fuse shape, wing shape.......motor size, exhaust stacks.......a real radial for the Zeke!

Bravo!!!!

I can't find anything showing pricing or the availability of kits, or even contact info for the builders. Maybe they are all one-off? There should be lots of interest!

Considering how small the Me.109 cockpit was for the full-size aircraft, who are they getting to fly the 82% scale bird? 12-year olds?
