Default RE: do arfs belong in scale forum?


ORIGINAL: Flak
You didn't build it, so you can't take credit for it.
Build it. Hmmm. Therein lies the bottomless pit of discussion. One of Dave's Platt's most famous saying (does that make it a "Plattitude?") is something to the effect that once you've framed up your model and covered it you're only about half done with a scale model. But an awful lot of modelers quit right there -- or perhaps after slapping on some quickie markings.

Then there is the ARF refurbisher who may go the whole hog into the "post-frame up" half of the scale building process. And what about a team of builders? Or a team of builders where one guy frames the thing up and then the next guy does the other 6 months (or longer) worth of work.

Oh and personally, I'd say anyone who makes an F-100 out of a fiberglass fuse kit and foam wings is in the same leaky boat as ARF refurbishers.
