Yep. Terrible. The pictures are of the prototype, the production version is entirely different. You'll like it.

Twinman had a thread about it a while back, laid out most of the changes the production version would have.

I'm sure retracts can be installed, but I don't know any specifics. Just left a message on Neil's machine, asking him to call back. When I know more I'll post.

Bill.

Status: offline 		Bill- OK. If the production version looks a lot better... But I would have to see several detailed, close-up pics. I always wanted to have a B-17. You see a lot of half-built Royal kits at swap meets- a lot of labor goes into one of those!

Wasn't somebody going to come out with an ARF B-24? Thought I remembered reading about it last year. That would be cool too!

The main fuse looks alrite except for the top(or cotpick) and the engine cowels. And especially for the pice it better start looking better than that.

Status: offline 		The only thing I could add is that the production model HAS to be better looking that what is being shown on Cedar Hobbies website. A 81" wingspan scale model ARF for $550.00 sounds ok to me. But not for what is shown of the prototype it isn't.

Looks like it would be a single piece wing. Is it or does it seperate into two halves at the fuse?
