Martin TBF Pelicanus

With the copy of a P-40 nose, and the pieces of many planes, I make this torpedo plane in imitation of a Martin B-10 in his lines but with only one motor and more little. The 30th decade colours are my favourites.

MAGNIFICO! That really is a beauty Pablo!

Are you sure this is a fake plane? It seems perfect to display proudly in 1940 then be murdered at Midway 1942... But yes, it is not in History books and these bright coulours are not for a black secret program

Definitely unique Pablo. Looks just the part for a Golden Era bird.

Pablo, that is gorgeous. One of my favourite colour sceme periods.
One little point as it is built by Martin it should be a TBK not TBF, K was Martin, F was Grummen.
