New WWII Warbirds

[nickle]

5 ME 262's are under construction in Washington:

The first flew successfully Fall 03.

Also in production/rebuild, Boeing F4B4, F2B ( I think), plus there were a number of Yak-9 new-builds recently in Europe.

There is also a German company making Fw-190s on the original jigs (only the engine is different), and then there are the Marcel Jurca full-sized replicas of the Mustang, Spit, 109, 190, and the three-quarter sized P-40

The interesting thing about the Me262 new builds is that they have been authorized Messerschmitt serial numbers, so that technically, they would be new production and not "replicas".

I believe the same rule applies to this German company making the Fw-190s Felix...

Yak was also making replica Yak-3's a while back, don't know if they're still making them

Of course, they wouldn't be replica's seeing that they're still being made by the original company
