I love the Abominable Snow Monster! :)
The Dragon looks great on the runway, TI! :Cool:
Mine came today! :) Man, this is one beautifully engineered model. From the fit of every part to the finish on the foam. Really superb work by Motion and Flightline RC. BZ fellows! :Cool:
We put on some Benny Goodman and had a B-24 build party. :Party: No decals yet, as I haven't decided fully how I want to do mine yet. But, she checks out mechanically and electrically. Even did some taxi testing out in the yard.
Now on to the detailing. I've printed most of the 3d parts. And, I'll be installing a camera or two in the turrets.
More fun to be had.

Thought I would touch base to see if there are any updates regarding spare parts, upgraded landing gear and 3d printing. I believe it was stated that these should be made available in about 2 weeks after the kit is released. Just wondering if that still seems possible. With the 3d I understood that the actual parts are going to be made available through Motion

Our 1/17th scale graphics sets will be perfect for this model.
We just added another set:
