Hey TS Hobbies
That is the 1600 mm right. I was looking over at Calie graphics to see if they listed the scale but I didn't see it. I think the guys trying to get pilots for the P38 have been trying to get 1/10 scale. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Just trying to help. Love your A1 and want one myself. I had found it at hobby people I believe and when 160.00 came up for shipping I said nooooo. I'll try Dragon thinks for the tip.Dewey l

By the way here is a good short account about the Skyraider in Vietnam. Some interesting trivia is that it was a Skyraider that scored the first air to air gun kill in Vietnam.
The era of missiles had arrived, and electronic warfare was coming of age. But when technology failed, pilots were forced to fight the old-fashioned way — wi...
