Very nice looking models, I especially liked the Gooney Bird. One thing I don't understand, about either of them. As much attention as was obviously spent on scale detail, why did they make the wings flat? (no dihedral). The C182 has about 2-1/2 degrees, and the C-47 about 6 or so. The models would sure be more stable with the scale dihedral.

Looks pretty scale in the pics. By the way, they are looking for a US distributor so if anyone is interested, e-mail them with attention to Tommy the owner. TMMY can still ship to the US though.

It is a good looking plane. You don't get a sense of just how big the thing is until you see someone next to it. As to my earlier post on dihedral There are a few pics that show it the way it should be, but also some showing the plane with none at all. Maybe it's camera angle. Fine looking models.

Hi- The C-47 in RNAF colors on Tommy's webpages is mine, and I also had his 1/5 Cessna. Both are very stable flyers, no problem. A slightly increased wingspan and washout at the wing tips compared to scale account for this. Best rgds Richard B. Oslo

Wow, that is a very nice model. I have emailed the company with regards to purchasing one of these, and will post up the cost of the purchase and shipping to Australia.
