Great shots Gavin, I think some of the scaled WWII aircraft look a bit silly, but the Titan Mustang is a good looking machine in its own right.

Where were the pics taken? Looks very nice on the ground...
Have to agree with previous comments, that is a very good looking model!
What scale is it? The pilot does seem a little cramped up in there....

Those shots certainly capture the best angles of the T51. Apart from the (scale) thicker wing section and larger looking pilot, you'd be hard pressed to pick it as 75% at a glance. They also sit a little nose high on the ground, but that's obviously no problem airborne. The unfortunate aspect of many/most of the T51s is that they are accompanied by a microlight soundtrack instead of a throaty roar! At least we can still enjoy the visuals!!!

This one won "Best military replica" at this year's SAA awards. I was on the Judging panel and was totally impressed at the build quality and finish of this particular T51. Powerplant is a V6 Suzuki, so it doesnt have the Rotax whine. A very nice little machine.
