My brother just completed, from a kit , a P51 pedal car for his grandson. Its a combination of wood and metal working. The color scheme he used is that of the Red Tail squadron. I believe the parts of the kit arrived precut and he did a excellent job of assembly. He added sound effects; machine gun, engine, radio com with static, bearings for the pedals and wheels. The woodworker that sells these kits did a great job of design and execution.
Brother lives in Seattle near the Paul Allen air museum, he was allowed to take the pedal car to the museum to photograph his pedal car next to a P51. His lucky day, the real Red Tail P51 had stopped for maintenance for hydraulics trouble, and he was able to get a pix next to the real thing. I haven't received that pix yet.
The pedal car and from the Red Tail website.

I've seen a different P-51 flying around the Bellingham (WA) airport in the recent past, when there used to be a historical group there.
