RE: NEW Top Flight P-40??? 1/5 scale
ORIGINAL: NCIS This is just my opinion but I don't think a Warbird is a true Warbird unless it's glassed and painted or a nice job with Flite-Metal which I stink at. I'll just stay with primer and paint. Covering is for civilian planes and then only the ones that were originally covered in fabric. The rest should be sheeted and glassed like true Warbirds. Barry flush mounted cowl. you just need some commitment. cost is minimal and it dosn't add alot of weight. copy and paste the link in my sig and see for yourself. for $239 right to my door.. its one of the better deals out there. |

RE: NEW Top Flight P-40??? 1/5 scale
YEP GENTS.... PERHAPS IT IS A TOP-FLITE GIANT SCALE CORSAIR and not even a TF P-40???
Part # 150 100 Deg. Rotating Retract http://robart.com/retracts/20-55lbGSRotate.aspx Been making these for years.... Think it'd be great to see more GIANT SCALE WARBIRDS....but maybe it is a CORSAIR! -CHEERS! TOMAS VQ WARBIRDS www.vqwarbirds.com [email protected] |
RE: NEW Top Flight P-40??? 1/5 scale
Corsair looks pretty ugly with a sharks mouth on the cowl.

It looks like crap. The funny little wheels and the canopy? Whats up with that?

ORIGINAL: jeffEE Sorry, that was not fair. Each to their own. I´m interested to see what TF will bring out |
RE: NEW Top Flight P-40??? 1/5 scale
If Top Flite is indeed bringing a large P-40 ARF to market then chances are it will look very much like the .60 size kit as far as scale fidelity goes. That would be a good thing in my opinion as, despite having some issues, it is light years ahead of anything else I've seen thus far. (I'm speaking only of ARFs here) That includes the new ESM P-40 which, IMHO, is a step backward from some of their recent offerings.

RE: NEW Top Flight P-40??? 1/5 scale
Interesting!
I am looking forward to them posting some additional information. Of the top of my head I am wondering if it will fit a DA-85 (concealed) to spin a 3 blade prop. |
RE: NEW Top Flight P-40??? 1/5 scale
I'm sure it will fit right in. As big as the cowl is. Sounds like a good choice.

RE: NEW Top Flight P-40??? 1/5 scale
One of the best things about a model of a P-40 has always been it's enormous cowl.

RE: NEW Top Flight P-40??? 1/5 scale
You know whats great about tower , they have sales , deals ect , you will probably end up saving about $100 on this plane with the variuos promos they run

RE: NEW Top Flight P-40??? 1/5 scale
I'm sure it does ;) and if you look inside the First aid/Service hatch right behind the oxygen tank
you'll find the spare tailwheel and jack. http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/js/f...bout_smile.gif |

RE: NEW Top Flight P-40??? 1/5 scale
What are the chances of it using the same retracts as the corsair? I have those.

RE: NEW Top Flight P-40??? 1/5 scale
