I just picked up this ARF of the Zero from Seagull Models and I was quite impressed with what I received for 139.99 at my LHS.
The model is entirely built up with an unbelievable number of stringers in the round fuselage.
The plane comes with everything you can think of to assemble, even the foam to wrap the fuel tank.
It is covered with Ultracote siver (not exactly scale), but the covering job was outstanding.
The cowl and rear cone are fiberglass, not ABS. Comes also with painted pilot, spinner, etc.
The engine mount and pushrods are already installed and all the control surfaces are hinged and pinned!!
I believe I can have this finished in 3-4 evenings.
The literature on Seagull says they use CA and epoxy. The first sign of that was the firewall which looks to be epoxied and has triangle supporting stock behind the 1/4" plywood firewall. You don't see that in many ARF's.
I am going with a TT 46 and Hitec 425 BB servos. It has two aileron servos, no flaps.
I am mostly interested in building scale kits and from plans, but got this to be a practice "warbird" plane before I fly my Skyshark SBD Dauntless I am working on.
Horizon is the agent and here is a link to the zero on their site:
