Has anyone purchased the new Top Flite Elder 40 kit yet?
Comments?
I have one that I'd guess is 90% complete. Just can't find the motivation to finish the wing wire rigging. I have a Saito 56 mounted.
The kit gets even more pricey if you add the pilot, machine gun and TopFlite wire wheels. I decided it would be worth it but then again I'm way beyond the age where you usually have two or three kids to support.
The cowling area was a little difficult (sheeting complex curves) as well as covering to wing tips.
Very nice looking plane though. Glad to hear it flies so well.
Regards
