It is one of the new build replicas and it crashed a few months ago. Was only under water for a few days before being salvaged.

Ironically they were filming a tail chase scene with a Spitfire when the Wulf suffered a failure of the constant speed prop and had to ditch in the Channel. The pilot got out ok but I reckon the Spit pilot would have to be claiming a victory!

I have the same order placed as well

Haven't decided whether to strip it down and glass it or just add some extra paint to the film and then clear coat it, any thoughts?? In the past have used tamiya and then a lusterkote Matt clear.

I wonder if they are going to offer the plane in an ARC version like they did the Jug? It certainly would save allot of us quite a bit of time stripping the covering off the ARF. Here is my choice for the new scheme.

Status: offline 		You're paying for that covering so why not put it to use. I'm sure, like many other giant arfs from Topflite, this too will later be available as a RTC. I'll paint this one and later buy the arc and make it more unique..
