Just glancing at these pics makes you wonder how TF came up with such a rough job... This looks ten times more scale than the TF. I Ned to make some room in the garage....

Is this the right size for a moki 150? That evolution looks sharp, but isn't it glow???

Lol, its called being complacent and resting on your laurels. Take an old kit and put it into production, bingo. Cool at first but then it was left as is. At least their FW 190 effort is new and fresh and looks the part.

The Evo is glow and from the looks of thngs the cowl is just big enough for those engines in the sub 10in diameter/width.
I don't fault Top Flite. They put out a good flying plane at a 50% less listed price ($729 vs. H9's $1100 "$1000+ Wheels & Truturn Hub"). As someone mentioned Top Flight admits it is a stand off scale product, and if the modeler so desires can easily modify/detail further to his satisfaction.

Variety and competition is always good .
