Default RE: Airborne Models

Since past year or so, I have bought two 1/7 warbirds a P-47 and AT-6 Texan. Both planes fly very well. The quality is better than average. The retracts will rip out if not reinforced with ply braces, epoxy and such. Remove the retracts and reinforce the mounts as much as possible. Once done, I have had no problems even in an occasional ditch in the grass since we have hardtop runways.

The covering does not adhere as well as other well known brands but that depends on colors. Silver and black are not as good as yellow. The tail design is ugly in my opinion since they want to avoid having pockets for the horizontal stabs to go thru. That creates the ugly gap in the tail where the braces glue to the fuse.
