Default RE: GROUP BUILD - Top Flite Giant Scale F4U Corsair

Tomcat 104,

E-mail John and ask him to make yours .060 instead of .030, it will make it much more rigid. He will do it but it will cost you a couple bucks more. I gave them $5.00 for the way they treated me. For a picture look up Iron Bay on the web and check out Iron Bay Modeling Company. You will get their Home page. From there select Kits currently available and push your cursor on F4U Corsair. Then scroll down until you see a picture of the cockpit and the sliding canopy. Theirs is much better than Top Flites and it is actual scale. You can also go to the first page of this thread and look at Gary9648's pictures. That is the thicker Iron Bay Canopy. He didn't know it came with the cockpit for that price so he ordered Top Flite's. He told me to go with Iron Bays combo and forget Top Flites cockpit. Iron Bays is much more realistic. Hope it works out for you.
