andy watson Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 I think Shaun has hit the nail on the head- not something you can get off the shelf.Since all previous ones have been Allied WW2 offerings, then maybe avoid those as well.Something distinctive.

Jonathan Lewzey Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 My top three are:AMX International (EDF) - Great looking light jet fighter/ advanced trainer. There is a foamie already, but it i don't think it justifies the AMX. great to see a balsa version for our own schemes Info Picture 1 Picture 2IAR 80 (Electric/IC) - A very different WW2 warbird based on the PZL P24 with a new ing and centre section. You will soon fall in love with this Romanian thoroughbred. i think this is a great modelling subject, so please back the IAR 80.Info Picture 1 Picture 2IL2 Sturmovik (electric) -Get this: this is the most produced military aircraft - EVER! Previously, IC engines would have ruled the slender nosed IL2 out as a scale model, but due to the large interest in electric it could be a great model. All the versions i have flown on flight sims have been superb - they simply don't stall!Info Picture 1 Picture 2 Come on guys, lets not have another Hawker warbird for the third year running . The world of aviation is too varied for that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave S. Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 DHC Beaver, 5 to 6 ft span, flaps, with floats & regular U/C, electric & IC options. I'd build one for sure.
