Nope.  Some guy built a 1/2 scale F-15 out of sheet metal and hope.  It
looks really sad - he wasn't much of a metalworker. :)  Search ebay for
"F15" and "trailer".  You should find it.

We're crazy, not suicidal. :)  The idea (and it's just an idea right now)
is to take a model I have, scale it up 1:1 and build it.  Use hand carved
prop and a bunch of bungee cord and you've got a 1:1 scale rubber band
powered model.  I think it would look cool finished up with no skin on it.
