This is the fuselage of Fokker D8 under construction by a local gent.
The engine is to the left. He has built a fair bit of some of the other components, mostly from scratch. He has the full plans for it and the tail section is well along. The wheel hubs he turned on a lathe and the spokes he got from some source in California. He is a pretty talented individual. This photo is a year or so old so I am not sure where he is now with the project.

The photo may look a bit odd as I removed him from the image just to respect his privacy. Pretty impressive though.

Would have love to see an Empire Short C Class flying.
It's a shame that most of the plans where distroyed some time ago.

JU-87

Not totally extinct, but none flying, so I would like to see a full scale flying Stuka.
Also another vote for Hornet/Sea Hornet

The Heinkel 162 was mentioned earlier. That would be pretty unique.

Wittman Buttercup would be my other one.
