I scratch built it and used some precision scale K-27 castings. I also started on a K-27 but haven't had much motivation lately since I no longer have the backyard to run them. When I get older and have more time I might think about another large scale pike. It certainly is a lot of fun doing the machining. For now I have my HOn3 to keep me busy.
Here is the start of my K-27 if you are interested. I haven't updated the page in a while so it doesn't show the pilot mounted to the frame. The last thing that I started working on was the spring rigging.
