RE: do arfs belong in scale forum?
Well, the truth is that RCU's Scale Forum is rather light-weight compared with the very serious builders and building going on over at RCSB. One reason I'm posting my Snipe build here on RCU instead of on RCSB is the wider reader base we have here.
Also I appreciate the non-elitist atmosphere on RCU. RCSB is a great place to hang out with many friendly and helpful people. But I can understand how it might be a bit intimidating to some less experienced scale fans. Maybe by experiencing, through my thread here, the construction of a "sports scale" kit, someone might be encouraged to build a similar kit. Or do a better job. Or even just to do a bit better job of make an ARF just a bit more scale.
