Do you guys consider the yellow aircraft f-18 to be a kit? I have to glue in the formers but honestly I consider it an ARF. I know a couple that claim to be builders because they built yellow aircrafts but the only difference between the yellows and many of my arfs is gluing in the formers. I glass wings, and have glued scratch build formers. I have painted and recovered etc.

Do you guys have a good resource for kits? I'd love to build a warbird but not a mustang. A big p47 or something like that would be cool I just don't know where to get them anymore.

BTW if your grandpa had internet, he would have thread on this forum back then calling your kits arfs, and how you're not a real builder unless you use a plan only or no plan. A real builder would go cut down balsa plants and hand carve everything Pre cut formers and preassembled wood is an arf, says your grandpa.
