OK, this guy is a serious craftsman:
http://www.craftsmanshipmuseum.com/Chenot.htm He has built a miniature 1932 Duesenberg - with a working propane-powered engine - completely from metal parts which he fabricated himself.

Having seen on youtube litterally hundreds of scale working V6/V8 and even V12 replicas it was only time to put one in a model car.
The quality and workmanship is incredible... Had an email sent to me with a 1/6 scale F4U Corsair hand made out of steel. Everything worked as should in the real thing, the engine didnt "run" but it was hand made as well. Sheer quality..

There are some pretty tricky You Tube bids of a 1/6 F4U with working flaps and folding wings. And a few plans that you can scratch build yourself with balsa wood floating around.

Sensational,
I had a model of the same car for nearly 30 years. Certainly nothing as grand as this one , a Revell 1/12 (I think) absolute beautiful detail, right down to the spoked wheels. My kid brother got hold of it one day and "vrooomed" it of the top of the display cabinet to it's ultimate destruction.I was shattered, Dad and I (more Dad) had spent weeks putting it together. Can well appreciate the effort that has gone into this.
