Default RE: F-5E by Vmar/Richmond RC

I'm all with Don on the ARC option. There are lots of good schemes out there that's just begging to be done on those airplanes!

Ya know, I may be totally off base here, but it looks like the cockpit area was scaled around the pilot? If you look at photos of the F-4, the pilots are squished in there pretty good, but the canopy is more in proportion. Looking at the other two, the pilot figures are more in proportion to the canopy and cockpit area... but are completely outta wack with the rest of the airplane. I hope they didn't compromise the looks of the A-4 and F-5 just so they could use the same pilot in all of their planes, but maybe it's just a coincidence. Just my worthless thoughts.

Don't get me wrong, I don't intend to bash VMAR....I'm proud that they're putting out a few propjets and I give them kudos for doing it. Sure they got a few flaws, but like Don said, they aren't meant to be totally scale. But p'haps for 300 bones, they could've put in a smaller pilot.
