Default 80% P-38(sorry no pics)

Snipped


Anybody know what he is using for engines? Performance?

I saw some of the pictures -- his engines turn according to current
design practice (inward); the original P-38's engines turned outward.

Retired Professor Builds His Own P-38

Two-Thirds Scale Replica To Take Flight In 2007

In addition to his firm understanding of homebuilder mathematics, O'Hara
has also been crafty in his construction of the 2/3 scale aircraft
(sized just large enough so that he and his wife -- "we're both about
two-thirds size" -- could fit). He fashioned nearly all of the
airplane's components himself, and is using two 220-horsepower
Continentals -- scrapped from a Piper Seneca that landed with its gear
up -- for power.
