I'm going to be putting this up for auction at the Veterans Airshow at Flite Fest so if you're there, you can buy it!!

After FF I'm going to do a bit of work on the plans before I make a separate thread for the release of V2.
I can't even tell that's made out of FB first looking at it, it looks so clean, nicer than a lot of high end retail RC planes. You are already acing master series techniques that the FT guys have barely started offering, and incorporating into your own designs👍. My stuff looks like FT early releases(Nutball,Delta,Flyer, ABC Jets). Not necessarily a bad thing though, as I've been in the game less than a year and there's always a demand for planes that take minimal time and skill and foam to build but give you a lot of bang. I'm glad you got to experience Flight Fest, I doubt I'll be able to go any time soon, but I'm hoping one of my designs might be able to go with somebody next year!

The P-38 and P-39 are my favorite Warbirds!! (y)(y)
Mostly because as a former 1:1 Pilot, I absolutely prefer Tricycle Landing Gear.

YOUR P-39 looks fantastic!! Any plans for a larger scale version?
Also like your Weathering skills! I'm also a long time Model Railroader, and value Weathering.

Is it just me? I'm not seeing any Signatures anywhere. I can't get to your links...

There is a setting under "Your Account" and "Preferences" that says "Show people's signatures with their messages " - make sure that little box is checked
I just did that, and it's checked... But still no signatures.
Oh well, might be my old phone. My Computer hasn't worked in over 5 years. This is all I've got. Stuff happens...

That is a work of ART! 👍👍
Beautiful Aircraft! I remember when you started this Thread, but didn't get to see the finished product.
Personal preference ONLY, I want Large-scale Planes. Not huge , but at least 5 - 7ft Wingspan...

It just looks SO GOOD! If I can find someone to blow up the plans - and cut it (I'm kinda USELESS), I would proudly add THAT to my Collection. 😎😁

I made a small section of the wing so I could test the fitment, it came out really good.

Now I've got to tear off all the bended stuff.
