GROUP BUY - CMP P-40

Had a chance to go to El Monte warehouse. First, they had no solid update on the arrival of the P-40. Nice people.
Heres what I did. looked at the 70" Zero, 70" P-51D, and 53" P-47. They had the 70" spit but didn't see it.
Although I have never had an arf, and I must build my composite models with scale accuracy, for $200.00 for 70' glass fuse model, wings covered , painted, hardware pack, airfoiled stabs and drop tank, I bought one. Maybe will buy another. The construction and scale accuracy for what they charge for what you get is, well a waste of time to build myself . Its too nice. So I thought, I can begin to bolt on my engine and other hardware right out of the box and maybe do the "fun" stuff, wheather, personalize it a bit.
The P-51D looked nice also, although I didn't see the fuse, but if its like the zero, its awsome.May get one of those but I have the Holman glass fuse 69" one already. I'll try to go back Monday for the spit and P-51.
The 53" P-47. fuse looks more like a Brewster Buffalo, not too scale.
I have an OS 108 and a RCV 120. I'll use one of those.

From LAX your around 50- 60 mlies away. From Ontario Airport maybe around 45 miles. Its in El Monte. Raiden Tech 9648 Alpaca St. S. El Monte, Ca. 91733

At this point you can't beat the quality for its price and size of 70" span. I may get the 70" P-51D monday. Thats if I can't wait for a P-40

FFDG , I dont think that will happen , but from the looks of your address you should be about 60 mins from GSP , they are getting this plane in Mid May , you can drive over and save the freight . Call for delivered price so you know they wont play games when you get there to pick up , there should be an FOB price with savings !!!!!
That is what I am doing .
