Default The World Spitfire in HERE!

I walked into Sheldon's yesterday and there they were, 4 of them, just arrived. I looked one over, not bad...
They even did a better job on the pilot, not the usual multi colored circus clown but it actually had a detachable helmet and chin strap. The blue stripes on the wings look bigger in person but can be removed with a little care, nice glass cowl with landing gear fully installed.
Price was near $260.00.
When I left they still had 4 in stock cause I managed to talk myself out of buying one and I was proud of myself for it, after all, I have too many projects as it is but I wont be so disciplined when the VQ P-38 arrives...

Carlos, you mentioned VQ. Who is that? Do they have a web site?

Thanks

Ken,

I think he is talking about a new P-38 ARF that is soon to be available. I saw it at www.rcwarbirds.com.

It looks real good!

So how big are the main wheels on this Spitfire? I hope they are at least 3 inches in diameter.
