RE: VQ P-61 Black Widow Fatal Maiden

WOW that must have been a massive impact considering the extensive damage done to at least one of the Saito's. The Saito looks like a write off to me.

RE: Top Flite '.60 size' Mustang ARF: about the same price as the H-9, but far better?

Well, this kit comes at the right time! This .60 size ARF is in its size one of a kind as far as the 'scale-look' goes. Unfortunately the kit isn't available in Holland yet but, though I'm not a...
