Default RE: CMP..Good or bad?

I love CMP , ok first off try building a box of wood fiberglassing the fuse with panel lines for under $200 ...lol .
I have the hellcat , the 73" p40 and just received from Wifey/santa the spitfire . I am working on a willshobby Seafury as we speak , same concepts as CMP but less thought in the enginering . CMP seems to only get better , there latest release was the 73" p40 , look at the online comparison of the CMP P40 vs the basic skyshark P40 for $400-minimum very surprising to the reviewer and many on line is that there were differance but were they worth 2 to 3 hundred dollars(basic skyshark & upwards $400 on the delux skyshark kit ) ????

If you love to build but dont have time and you love to tweek and add details CMP is your plane !!!! They are coming out with a BF 109 in the spring , should be a winner .
I plan on getting the 75" corsair next its equiped with flaps and very nice detail .

As far as where you get CMP , the original store is in Pa(Giant Scale Planes ) , they had issues with major shipping charges , they lost interest in exclusive distribution(based on not being able to import volume as they once did ) and that is how ak and NitroRc /Raidentech/egrandbuy/Jaiderc got the rights to sell CMP .--Personally I would buy from Ak or Nitro ...ak is a great company with a long history of kits sales -most famous is the su27 super flanker , Nitrorc is cleaing up there act on RCU , they were the once famous Raidentch(and still use many of the names I have listed on ebay ) with one of the worse Ebay reps in the industry . Dont be fooled by the slight address change I have been to both , its the same company and Nitro cares about there rep on RCU unlike Raidentech .

I can tell you that CMP is in discussions with willshobby about all composite planes , first release will be sport then warbirds . Imigine all composite planes ...... perhaps someone will give the great quality and workmanship of the new KMPs planes a run on the budget side of the fence .
KMPS new plane are simply excellant I just wish the cost would come down
