That ARF is not too bad, and not far off from the R2...
However in the picture the cowl is mounted incorrectly (or not at all!) which makes the plane look more elongated than it actually is.
Once the ARF is properly assembled it looks fine though.

At last year's Toledo show, I overheard one gray haired guy saying "There's absolutely no way THAT is a GeeBee, I KNOW GeeBees..." after he looked at a perfectly done Giant Scale version of the R3... how WRONG he was!
