Hi P38 fans,

There are a couple of scale P 38s around, one with Menasco Pirate
engines and the other with Walter LOM engines. I think one was
featured in Kitplanes. For the record the DeHavelland Hornet had left
and right turning Merlins. There was  a LH Merlin for sale here in
Australia a few months back for $15000, still in the packing crate.
The RAAF had 12 Hornets, but never flew them operationally. I once met
the test pilot who flew them to the graveyard; he said he held the
record between Sydney and Brisbane in a Hornet until B727s came into
service in the early 60s
