Just received my copy of ?Aeroplane? from the UK the other day and read a news brief on the Flug Werk FW190s that are getting built over in Bavaria. The last sentence says ?after production of FW190 parts has finished, the company will proceed with the manufacture of a North American P-51 Mustang ?lookalike? airframe kit called the AP-51 Palomino, and also manufacture new-build Bucker Bu 131Bs.?
?
I did a little on-line snooping and found that they?re going to be building the 131Bs together with B?cker-Flugzeughandels GmbH and they are going to be certified aircraft in Germany. They?ll use LOMs for the power plant.
?
Not sure if this is new news to you but I hadn?t heard of it before. What I find particularly interesting is that they?ll be certified.
