What you all think? I’ve been out of the hobby for a while. Do people want big expensive planes or smaller cheaper ones?, not that money and selling these was really the primary factor, but if i can help fund the next build then I guess that’s good too.
My personal preference is for airplanes that I can toss into the back of my truck for a trip to the field but it seems like big is the way to go with warbirds. With something like the 112 that has a lot of structure and character, people like to be able to show off the scale detailing.The down side is that it a pretty big investment for a relatively obscure fighter. At the smaller end of the scale you are competing with the bind and fly foamies and the obscurity may be a plus for people who want something different. The gull wing is a little bit of a complication but surely no more difficult than a Corsair. I don't pretend to be a representative modeler, these are just my thoughts. your mileage may vary.
