Most of all I would love to see either a SAAB 39 Gripen or a 37 Viggen, minimum 80mm. But if it has to be a US plane and we are talking Vietnam era, then bring on the Helio 550 Stallion! That would be something else than all the Porters out there in “fun scale”.

I'll take that too, but prefer the larger size of the 80 and 90 airframes. Haha
Many of us have been requesting on the RCg thread for Freewing and Motion to make a BVM Bandit for years. If a deal were to be made some day between them, that would be fantastic. I know the powers that be are always reading, so it doesn't hurt to ask.Comment

Um, you do realize that lots of full scale aircraft use white paint, too, right? Yes, my E-flite T-28, Carbon Z Cessna and Cirrus SR22T have a lot of bare, white foam on them. Why? Because that's the exact same color schemes as on the real ones. Why paint white over white and just add weight when it's not needed?Comment

I respectfully disagree with this. The weight is insignificant for the added paint in my opinion. This is a cop out for the manufacturer plain and simple in my opinion. It's acceptable in a sport model, but I still really don't like it. But you put the super scale label on something, and I had better not be seeing white foam beads. I just respectfully disagree.

PS the real ones do not have a white bead foam finish, they are a white paint finish, no sign of compressed foam beads.Comment

While this is long, it's an excellent primer (no pun intended) on custom painting foamies.

I've been scanning the posts here and a lot of the wishes seem to have come true... like the FlightLine 1600mm Corsair (which I purchased) - BUT my wish would be a good P38 20cc 69.5" ARF and if FlightLine could keep the detail and quality recipe they have with their new 1600mm Corsair I'm in! Unfortunately, FL's current P38 1600mm Lightning is ok but falls short in terms of having the same level of detail and quality finish their Corsair has but hey, that's just me.
I like the VQ P38 silver lightning https://vqwarbirds.com/product/vq-p-...6-epgp-silver/ but they're above my pay grade :Scared:

I had that one. Beautiful flyer but the QC was pretty bad. Formers not even glued in, and others with weak reinforcing, etc...And the canopy profile was waaaay off which really bugged the crap out of me, lol.I like the VQ P38 silver lightning https://vqwarbirds.com/product/vq-p-...6-epgp-silver/ but they're above my pay grade :Scared:

I had the "other one", JLM or something like that. Twin .75's and while it flew well the quality was horrid. Needed 1/4" of down trim since the wing incidence was molded wrong, horrible retracts, bad fiberglass work, and as you noted formers not glued in. After a couple seasons I pulled my gear out and GAVE it away.Comment
