Default BIG A-5 Vigilante build

Hi All,

The next plane for a few of us guys in the chicago area is going to be an A-5 Vigilante. The size is going to be somewhere between 1/6 and 1/7 scale, GI Joe can fly it, about 140" long. We ordered a Trumpeter 1/48 plastic kit, Mark Frankel's plans. and Phil Knuckle's plans. The idea is to take the best of what we find and create the plane. I am still waiting on phil's plans. My friend Vladimir scaled up the vertical stab on the Trumpeter kit close to the size we are going to build. I took some pix to get the ball rolling. There is a ruler next to the stab for reference. A few guy from the 1/4 Scale Panther build are doing the Vigilante and a few are looking at a big Crusader.
