Young C.Park P-51 Airplane Model

Young C. Park of Honolulu, Hawaii is a retired dentist who has been an aircraft modeler since childhood. He was born in Kona on the island of Hawaii on March 15, 1932 to immigrant parents who came from Korea in 1910. Retired at the age of 75, he is fullfiling his childhood dream of making model airplanes, I love those Tamiya models but Young’s P-51 airplane model has no match for Tamiya’s model. Just take a look at how detail is the model below:


Young Park’s P-51, like the first Corsair is paneled on the right side and cut away on the left side to show all the internal workings. See below for more photos. Click on the above photo to view a larger image. (Young Park photo)

Side view of engine compartment

The wing root view on the left side shows access into the wing as well into the cockpit with cutaway panels removed. Throttle controls run through tubes in the fuselage. Hydraulic lines can be seen inside the wing.

A detail shows the ammunition belt threading into the open receiver of one of the .50 caliber machine guns. (Y. Park photo)
