    It by all appearances may be we are going to lose our favorite Alpha as the single point new product manager for which we have all for years enjoyed his poetic riddles regarding all the fantastic releases he has overseen.
    I personally hope this is not the case and that it is a matter that he is spreading the wealth of responsibolity about and is rising to even a higher calling in the Motion organization.
    My best wishes for Alpha and with best regards,

    Thanks for the nice wishes, guys, that's sweet. Rest assured though, I'm built into the walls so I ain't going anywhere! We've been interviewing for several weeks for several roles to add to our global team, not dilute it. Onward and upward

    It just wouldn't be the same without Alpha, hope its not true. Maybe he just needs more time to devote to getting that P-51B perfected before hitting the market

    What do you think of a BF-110? Quite a few years ago Dynam made one (1500mm), and you still see them around once in a while. But the difference between having a Dynam model and not having a model at all is, well, a very small difference. Flightline could do a lot better, and it would be a nice addition to the twins, P-38, Tigercat, OV-10....and I guess the A-12 (half of a B-24).
    BTW, the Dynam Bf-110 is still available, if you need a 110. I actually really like mine. Zero trouble ever. Large and informative discussion thread over on RCG.

    While Dynam models often need a little extra work, the distance from no model to a Dynam model is much, much further than from a Dynam Model to a FW or FMS. I have really enjoyed my Bf-110, Me-262, PBY, B-26 and Cessna 310 and all have been nearly trouble free.

    The color scheme choices that a Dynam makes for their warbirds usually inspire me to do a repaint....:)

    Getting back to the topic, the next twin warbird that I desire the most is an A-26! Seems to be popular as a next warbird in these sort of threads.

    I would rather see FW fill in some important missing subjects like the A-26 before duplicating a warbird available from another source.

    I think an A26 invader would be a winner, I have never seen one offered to us in foam. About 1500 mm will be just right.

    S2,+1...From your post to Alpha's drafting table. Yes, please and the livery wouldn't matter, even a gray version, though Berlin Express would be perfect. Best, LB

    OK, Here's my lovely poem, containing a subtle hint at the plane I would like to see in 1600mm:

    Roses are red
    Violets are blue
    The 20mm cannon on a Bf-109 can destroy anything, including both rhyme and meter.

    How about this one:
    Roses are red
    Violets are blue
    I want an XB-70
    That's midsized and new.

    I miss the old Viet Nam era, "Iron Bird" known as the Douglas A1 Skyraider. There have been a handful of RC models produced, long out of production. Perhaps too old, too slow, too ugly and irrelevant at this point. I still fly the old Durafly 1100mm that I have saved from destruction. Switched it to a 4S system and it really moves out. A 1200mm or 1400mm properly built and set up would look good out there....

    Oh sorry, I was just making a dumb joke....Flightline has made several twins and then also B-24, so I thought half of a B-24 should count as another twin, and should be called an A-12 . But I like both those posted by Valkpilot - especially that second one could make for very efficient use of a shipping container, lol. By the way, the wikipedia article on the A-12 is interesting, I didn't realize it saw significant operation before being replaced by SR-71. It was not just a one-off prototype on the way to the SR-71.
