The project is located just down the road (closer to main rd)in a business unit.I spent an hour with Dr Mark Timken , (owner of the project) two weeks ago as he showed me the progress on the project.(There was also an article on the project in last months Flypast.)
They are going to great lengths to create a superb example of the 190. The major effort right now is centered on small detail parts, both mechanical and electrical. What struck me was the amount of small components the 190 has. The biggest issue facing them is the BMW engine. If anyone has any engine components , they would like to know. Great guys and a great project.
Incidently at Reilly's, the FG1 Corsair has gone. Current project is the wings for the P40 N and wings for a Yale. B17 looks another 6 months plus until it will fly.
