RE: Best Foam 1/12 warbird P-47?
Btw, that plane had the fuse cut in half a couple of times. There is a quick and easy mod to reduce that. If you cut an S-curve on the end of the 2mm coro sheeting, you reduce the stress riser, and the fuse is less likely to break all at once at the end of the coro as mine did. I think the newer kits also come with a re-inforcement that you cut in to the side of the fuse that would also prevent or lessen this kind of thing. I actually was able to glue the fuse back together, it's just foam after all. The wing, however, was toast. The damage is much worse than it looks like in the picture.
Also, in fareness, I also went heat-to-head against a fiberglass fuse KI-64 at Nats. Full throttle, nearly head on, at low altitude. I flew out with barely a hitch, he went in hard. Nothing is invinceable, and nothing withstands t-bones like the one that got me above, but the JKA kits are about as strong as you can get, and for the money there is nothing close.
