Well, not alot to choose from in 1/6 scale, which is what the blue box figures are. The H9 P-47 would fit your bill.

Hi there,

Best warbird ARFs in my opinion are:

1. KMP/YT Hurricane, Me-109E, B-25, Spitfire.
2. Any of 3 Sea Bees series.

BiBi 1/6 figures fit in these plane perfectly. DP

CMP 140 sized mustang
CMP 120 sized zero
These two look like keepers to me.

That would be ~80" ws Thunderbolt and a ~73" ws spit to scale out at 1/6.

H9 T-bolt =~ 81" ws
Nitro Spit Mk 2 = 71" ws
CMP spit = 71"ws

The KMP Spit is close to 1/6 and scale. The CMP Spit is not scale.

KMP also has a nice razorback P-47 with black/yellow checkered tail (which I just ordered).

P-47 D Pilot

I don't think you will find better than the Hanger 9 150 size P-47 razorback. I have a 1/6 scale Dragon figures pilot in mine. As the model is 1/6 scale it is perfect. At this scale the jug is big enough to carry the weight of these quality pilots as they are very heavy by flying standards.

To install mine I just cut the floor out of the cockpit hatch & fitted a seat into the fuse. See this link for details -

http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_32...31/key_/tm.htm

If you read on to the next page you will see my flight report from the testing. Since then I have only got to like this model more & more each time I fly it.

Cheers & good luck.

I personally feel like CARF is making the best war birds right now. Blackhorse makes a nice War bird but they like Carf are pricey.If you want to go with reasonably priced I would say Phoenix Models.
