I've read most of the postings here and I agree and also disagree with some. I do have an arc that I'm assembling too and for the most part I plan on adding some of my own scale detail. But yes it is an arc and it will always be an arc. But to see how close it comes to the full scale plane is fun for me and yes if I can compete with others just to see what they have to contribute to the hobby is fine with me. This is just a stepping stone and hopefully a good stepping stone for me to get to a final goal to maybe someday enter into a more scale event just to see what I have to learn to compete next time. I'm just a fly wanting to be a bee but have a long way to go. I have now two Wing B-25s and I plan on trying to get both planes fully assembled and hopefully detailed to my satisfaction. And hopefully they will be able to compete someday in a scale event. Just being there and at least qualifying will be just enough for me.
