Default RE: Degree of Scale

Well in my humble opinion the Yellow Aircraft F-18 leaves the other bugs for dead both in scale outline and overall level of finish.... I was suggesting among the asian F-18 offerings and (F-18's only) It's not a matter of proving anyone wrong just an observation and if there is a better ARF bug being mass produced Iam simply unaware of it. Sticking to F-18's here mind you and Iam not saying the Yellow twin version is perfect but I think it is the best of the bunch overall. Competition wise you can make anything into a potential winner with enough effort, again the Yellow Aircraft version likely would require the least amount of effort I think.

Again sticking to F-18's for sake of comparison... Like I said you could argue about the other manufacturers bug's varying degree of scale fidelity and you would more than likely find no "clear cut" winner I believe....


Andy- I thinks Tams Super Bug is very close to the top of the rest after the Yellow (twin). The "custom painted finished" versions of Tam Super Hornet are extremely well finished, the paint and detail work is exceptional and on par or better with some of the best I've seen. Not sure about scale outline accuracy at F3A, World Scale or Masters competition level's though. Definitely a well proven design and flyer overall and Tams a great guy to deal with also so if I was shopping for a Super Hornet I would be looking at Tams for sure.
