Default RE: The COME-BACK of x2 GP's ARF's



I wouldn't even consider the Stuka semi scale. Whether or not the outlines are correct, it lacks almost all of the details that make a Stuka. The Moncote looks awful as well. For the price, I think building would be a much better option for the price. Sure, it might cost the same, but it would probably result in a far more realistic model.

The Hawk looks better, but it is still overpriced. These models just don't make todays standard.

What I think happened was Great Planes recieved much demand for these models to be released again (there have been plenty of threads on the topic) and decided to do just that. The market has changed. People buying ARFs these days demand more detail and quality, and are no longer willing to pay more for brand name when there are no name ARFs for half the price and twice the quality.

Perhaps they should have taken the airframe and updated it - better covering, more detail, etc....</p>
