LSAF

A few Shindin Machine equiped  aircraft in the Lenny Smith Air Force.

Lenny Smith of Kenner, La, built this awesome 100" FW190d9 as the prototype of the American Eagle kit. Power is a twin cylinder Zenoah GT80, Shindin Machine main gear, finish and all-up weight once I find out....

Lenny also built this 100" FW190d9 from Meister plans.... Zenoah GT80, Shindin Machine mains, all-up weight and finish when I find out......

Pica 1/5 Spitfire

Sam Sorem's 1/5 scale Pica Spitfire.... If mine had looked like this, I would have kept it!!
