Default RE: Skymaster F18

Mike,

Sorry, but I've been tied up preparing for the Best in the West. I haven't had a chance til now to answer your question. The F-15B's production has been completed in the factory. The container is on its way here. We expect it to arrive at the end of this month or early next month, and should be ready for purchase. The F-15B comes with a white base primer color, Edward gel coat (red/white), or bicentennial gel coat (red/blue/white)color scheme. Although the new production has more details and is lighter than the previous version, but the rivets won't be seen on the F-15, and will only be available on the F-18E. We will see the publics reaction and see if we want to add this feature on to the rest of our product line.

AAC,

I believe both Yellow's F-18 twin and Skymaster's F-18Cor E are both good planes. It just depends on your personal preference. The Yellow is bigger and a nice kit, but you'll need take time to build it. The Skymaster is slightly smaller, but it is an ARF. I don't think there is anything to really compare since the 2 planes are different in size and need to be put together differently.
