Default RE: Stupid question of the day.

Another thing to consider is scale outline. Are you satisfied with sport scale? Or, do you want an accurate scale outline. Neither the Hanger 9 or the Top Flight have very accurate outlines. If you want a true to scale Corsair, your best options are to scratch build or find an old Royal kit. If I were to build a Top Flite, I would tweek the outline to a more scale appearance. That would also require fabricating a new cowl, as the one in the kit just isn't quite right. The Hanger 9 is a great ARF. They fly beautifully and look great from 10 feet away. However, Monokote on a warbird makes me want to vomit... WWII birds really should glassed and painted. It is the only way to make them look right!
