replica balsa war/large scale planes??

[jonmichael145]

im looking for a place to buy replica war planes or large scale planes for a reasonable price. im just getting into balsa and im addicted to it. but im having trouble finding them online. i like large scale and all i can find is small scale. im looking for a minimum of 70 inch wingspan. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Lots of lurking

Swap meets, estate sales, and browsing RC groups are all good ways to find nice used larger used planes and kits. eBay is very hit-or-miss and be wary of getting in to price wars that drive something way up over a reasonable value.

If you're looking for new kits, I have a thread pinned at the top of this forum for current Balsa Kit Manufacturers, but I'd guess less than 20% of them have the larger stuff. Check out Manzano Lazer Works, Balsa USA, Carolina Custom Kits, and RC Kit Cutters for larger scale stuff - but I don't know if they will meet that "reasonable price" parameter.

Happy to help you look if you have any more specifics on what you're looking for too!
