This would be a fun project for sure! The concern is that it may be well over $200k with the engine, prop, paint, and avionics. Maybe even $250k (or more if you really go wild with it). It would still be fun though!
This plane is 70% of the size of the original P51 and has about 34% of the original horsepower. I really like the idea of building smaller scale functional replicas of famous war planes, but not when they are 350mph slower than the originals.
This is a wonderful replica. It's great to see the Mustang being produced with new technology. I do wonder though, why make it at 70% scale? Especially considering the difficulty in making everything fit under the cowling and only having 1 engine option, why not just make it full sized?
To power a full size one needs in the region of 1700hp plus, the only piston engine small enough is the rolls Royce merlin, something notoriously hard to manage temps and pressures on in flight
The original Mustang, which pilots loved to fly, was designed to carry one pilot to Berlin and back - along with enough guns, bombs, tube radios, oxygen, and fuel to make the trip worth it. Not many buyers need most of that capability today. This aircraft carries two people, costs a fraction of the price of an original in purchase price and maintenance, and burns a fraction of the fuel. But you can have a lot more than 70 percent of the fun flying it. It's not for everyone, but as you can see from the comments, it stokes the dreams of a lot of fans.
Nice. Shame about the engine, I'd rather go for the Thunder Mustang at a higher price and higher maintenance costs. If you can't have the real thing you get the next best.

Can you make a full size P-51? My Father was a WW-2 veteran (passed away) 😢 . But He purchased a military surplus Allison V-12. Father disassembled the Allison but got cancer. Need help to complete my Father's project. He said the huge Bendix carburetor and supercharger was not the best design. Father wanted to use modern technology fuel injection 💉 and Turbochargers (2 or 4). Father wanted to use E-85 as the fuel ⛽, because of E-85 has high octane ratings. Standard Allison could make 2,000 horsepower. Or I can swap or sell. If you want to hear the Original V-12 P-51 Sounds, make me a Full size P-51 that we can put a original Allison V-12 . Remember the first series of P-51 aircraft were designed for the Allison V-12 and the hundreds of P-51 had Allison V-12 engines. When I was young, the WW-2 veterans would fly their original P-51 on the weekends. The Sounds of a Original V-12 is awesome. Help me.
@@billywilliams6853 Probably not. Hope you don't mind burning 1 to 2 gallons of fuel per minute! At $8/gallon...it's going to get real expensive. And that's after you spent 2 mil on the aircraft.
@@billywilliams6853 Honestly, you should sell that engine and buy some 3/4 size kit. Way cheaper, way more fuel efficient, way lower maintenance, etc. Unless you can afford a crew to maintain your plane for you, a modern smaller version is much better.
price and sales info are in a blog post on their site not on a page. 119k EUR without avionics or engine. I guess it got more expensive since 2021 Oct. look for Now Shipping!
An amazing and wonderful world in which we live when a German company builds a replica of the P51
@@JRBailey German American
Americans have made lots of replica German hardware, especially r/c stuff.
If you have not seen this one, it's worth having a look. Very well-done attention to detail - it looks like a metal aircraft.
The attention to detail is awesome. I'm a little surprised its got a carbon fiber airframe. The illusion to make it look like aluminum is perfect.
Oh hell yeah. Been at the top of my wishlist for a long time!
Awesome. This is really great to see. I have never built an aircraft, but I am now tempted to.
This would be a fun project for sure! The concern is that it may be well over $200k with the engine, prop, paint, and avionics. Maybe even $250k (or more if you really go wild with it). It would still be fun though!
P51... probably the sexiest airframe ever designed. Even at 70% scale I could stare at her all day long.
Pretty cool way to keep old airplanes flying!
I would be even more interest in a carbon scale replica of a BF-109
Considering their location I don't think that will happen any time soon.
Absolutely
It’s such a gorgeously done plane.
This plane is 70% of the size of the original P51 and has about 34% of the original horsepower.
I really like the idea of building smaller scale functional replicas of famous war planes, but not when they are 350mph slower than the originals.
Saw this at Oshkosh and it was beautifully done.
Awesome.. Especially the sound and attention to detail
Beautiful job. Nice that a German company recognizes the awesome aircraft that played a huge role in the Allied win over the Axis powers.
A Higgs Falcon would be fabulous in this….
Very cool! Thanks for sharing!
Positively a bargain compared to the original 🙂
Very interesting 👍
Viewed this at Oshkosh, very impressive.
It would have been awfully nice to see the cockpit.
This is a wonderful replica. It's great to see the Mustang being produced with new technology. I do wonder though, why make it at 70% scale? Especially considering the difficulty in making everything fit under the cowling and only having 1 engine option, why not just make it full sized?
Exponential weight increase, power requirement, and structural needs.
To power a full size one needs in the region of 1700hp plus, the only piston engine small enough is the rolls Royce merlin, something notoriously hard to manage temps and pressures on in flight
Amazing..! 👏 😁
Herzliche Glückwünsche, Hans!

Should have built a replica FW190 or bf109
How about Walter-LOM M337C aircooled supercharged injected inline 6 engine, sounds almost like V12 and it is aviation engine with 252HP!?
ruclips.net/video/Yb6E3lnRk3c/видео.html
Wow. Impressive
Does it come in a big box with nice art work on the top?
Oh man, that would be the ultimate Tamiya kit wouldn't it? 😃
Simply awesome! A little pricey, but wow.
Holding out for a FW190.
the price is actually pretty dang good deal.
A scale model you can fly.
Beautiful. If only they had done a FW190, and they are from my families home town!
It's Heinrich Dorfmann!
That's a good one👍😂
Excellent. I was waiting for a comment like this
Wait what? The prototype has a 915 turbo which is around 200lbs, and they are going to try it with an LS3 (at least 500lbs)? That doesn't add up.
Would not be the first aircraft to have it similar done.
just trim it out :)
how much for such amazing plane?
At 5:21, $168,000 USD for quickbuild, minus engine, propeller, and avionics.
@@Hugocraft Not that bad actually.
Awesome , nice good looking 51 aircraft , but the small engine and the prop of a ultralight .....😂
You don't want to give your take on MOSAIC?
Great to see. can anyone educate me on why its not 100% size and is scaled to 70%

Why not 1:1? I’m just asking in general. Because of existing powerplants, FAA guidelines?
This one is amazing, what a company to work for!
V12LS Aluminum variant?
I wonder why it has Lithuanian registration?
Badass
Amazing work, but with this level of details and scale - why canopy is way too big????!!!
It spoils the effect IMHO.
Nice.
Shame about the engine, I'd rather go for the Thunder Mustang at a higher price and higher maintenance costs.

For a full size P-51, you will need a full size budget, figure close to 2 million+. That's why you see 3/4 scale and 70% scale replicas.

Wow! One Gallon in one minute, E-85 is a $3.00+
One Gallon (E-85) multiplied by 6.6 lbs equals 400 pounds per hour.

What does #124 mean?
How much does the kit cost? I couldn't find ANY prices. Are you guys serious or not?
Did you watch the video??
If you watch the film you will see it quotes $168,000 USD for the quickbuild kit. Engine, prop, avionics extra

@@spvan8715 Yes, I did watch the video, I was referring to the website.
140 HP is not gonna give the complete mustang experience. 300 KTS will.
Its carbon fiber... it can handle much more power
It's a kit plane so you can put what you want in it.
Nice airplane but can't afford $200k+ for a finished product.
70% Merlin?
Just sayin’… ;-)
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🍀🌾🌧️🌧️🌧️
Germans making Mustangs 😂 🤣
I'm sorry but a faux Mustang with a top speed of less than 200 knots? What's the point? That's like a fake Ferrari that can only go 70 mph.
