A two-seat, 8/10 scale P-51 replica, built in 1992 by James Smith's company. The design was intended to be made available as a kit aircraft, in different versions resembling the Mustang, Spitfire, Bf 109 and other fighters! It used two coupled Ford Mustang V6 car engines, and other automotive parts including Honda Civic wheels. According to Mr Smith's Stonehenge Air Museum website the project was killed by Ford's liability concerns. The FAA wrongly calls the manufacturer 'Montair'. Smith's genuine P-51D, N6519D, is second in line.
