There’s been a few kits over the years ( Jack Stafford) but nothing in foam.
Well see.

Originally posted by Gringotuerto View PostBy the way, if you were to say one iconic "charge" of the B-24, it would be the oilfields in Ploesti. They came in low and the AA was intense - cannon to the left of them, cannon to the right of them. And that is just across the black sea from Crimea, where the Charge of the Light Brigade took place during the Crimean war. So I would guess B-24 just based on that connection.

So while listening to the podcast interview with Alpha, around the 1:26:20 mark he indicates that in a few months his "favorite" aircraft will be coming up.........very interesting.
I hope you plugged a :ov10into the schedule like 18 months ago so I will have one for the 2018 flying season;):Cool:Warbird Charlie

Yes, and I notice some of them flew on to Turkey after the raid, so they would have passed very near the Crimean peninsula. Anyway, 2000mm is great, smaller would not have done it justice. I just pre-ordered. Alas, I have no room for this thing....my other planes are sweating, knowing that a round of layoffs is inevitable.

That statement is pure bull. A shame that some pilots with foam planes are considered to be "less" than competent because of a planes' construction/material. Been into airplane modeling since '55 & it was all sticks, glue, & covering. IC engines that were finicky at times & always left exhaust grunge on the plane surfaces, & if you had a crash or poor landing, all that was left was toothpicks or firewood. Is that what all that "craftsman's" work evolved into? The best thing that happened to RC airplanes was the intro of foam & electric motors that really piqued the interest in new flyers who could afford to get into RC at a reasonable cost & either got hooked, or decided it wasn't all that interesting & moved on. When I retreaded back into RC in '90, a small foam backyard plane w/electric motor re-ignited my interest & love of flying. Time constraints with work & obligations made it impossible to scratch build from a balsa kit & thus the ARF's in both foam & balsa made it so much more practical & allowed to increase the RC hangar stable. Since, I've decided that electric is the best for me & I have both balsa & foam planes, gliders, & a couple EDF's that I enjoy. I also find that the "foamies" are sooooo much easier to repair & get back in the air compared to balsa. Anyway, it really all boils down to the absolute that we are just adults who still need to play with our toys & have a bit of fun with friends.

Really enjoyed hearing Alpha and I am really enjoying these new features, allowing different versions (bronco) of the A-4 and B-24. (bronco) The offering of 3D printed details is going to be (bronco) a game changer, GENIOUS! Can anyone else hear that? Sounds like someone keeps saying BRONCO!LOL;):ov10Warbird Charlie

That's just it. Foam made it possible to bring in new pilots to the hobby because they are cost effective. Comments like the one you answered are the same as when we release a 64mm jet and people screams for 90mm. There are many markets within our Hobby and we try to keep everyone happy by offering wide ranges. But for me? I am not a builder and couldn't conceive how much time people put into their balsa projects. I prefer PNP because I just enjoying flying. The quicker I can unbox a model and be at my field, the happier I am. But to each his own. Although I would never build a balsa model, I have nothing but respect for those that do and I love going to events and seeing the dedication people put into the balsa planes but again it never gives me the urge to try it myself. I almost equate it to people who still print out mapquest directions when they have a cell phone in their hands...why waste the time?
