| Ken Mazoch , TX | AZ models makes models of the Vanguard in both 1/72 and 1/48. I just ordered a 1/72 one from Relish Models today (01/14/2010). Try them. 01/14/2010 @ 16:14 [ref: 25576] |
| Louis Pratt CALDWELL, ID | For several years I have been working on a full sized replica of the P-66. I have completed much of the landing gear retract. I have built an instrument panel. I have wheels, brakes, hydraulic control valves, canopy, stick, wing tips, tail cone, windshield, seat, trim controls, side panels, new prop, inspection plates, oil cooler, throttle quadrant, fuel selector, fuel strainer, fuel guages, carb, mags, electrical components, manuals, drawings, etc., and fixtures to build the fuselage and engine mount. I am interested in locating others who share my interest is seeing some flying examples of the airplane, and/or people who are intersted in making parts. I also remain interested in finding the remains of an original P-66 to preserve and or to use for patterns. 12/17/2007 @ 01:42 [ref: 18944] |
| Andy Griffin, GA | Does anyone make a good model of the P-66? Has anyone heard any more news of the possible planes in crates in China? I think this is one of the most beautiful airplanes ever made and it would be nice to see someone build a replica with a Rotec Radial engine.
Thanks for the info, Andy 08/22/2007 @ 09:23 [ref: 17720] |
| Joel Reinleib Smithtown, NY | I think the Vultee R-48 prototype which was an experiment to give the effect of an in-line engine over a radial one was one of the most beautiful fighters ever designed. It's unfortunate that heating problems and the lack of a true in-line were not available to Vultee at that time. 09/05/2006 @ 15:57 [ref: 14081] |

| Donald I. Kasserman Reidsville, NC | Your web site did not have any specifications listed for the
P-66 Vanguard....Go to the USAF Museum web site, they have a good set of specs and history on the P-66. Kasey 03/25/2002 @ 22:05 [ref: 4584] |
