FLD .I know what you mean about seriuos kit bashing . I still have a Global P40 in my storage room that is half way there . I started out with a simple "oh I just change the Green and Gray camo fil to green and tan " .Then I found myself stripping the entire air frame , adding flaps , rotating gear , full inetrior and sliding canapy . All the tuff stuff is done including the boreing servos installation .Now it sits ready for sanding, testing and covering . I just had toshelf it for a while because it was so time demanding ve the other ARF that I had in the box . I love the P40 but its one plane that I have to have looking close to scale , I have a VQ p40 done , nice plane but limited in scale accuracy . Almost tempted to buy a Pica 70" kit but I heard they are boxes of wood
