There was only 16 squadrons of RAF fighters that used 100 octane during the BoB.
The Fw190A could not fly with the outer cannon removed.
There was no Fw190A-8s flying with the JGs in 1945.

No, but they look fantastic; that is very enticing.

If I were going to build something it would be one of those. Ether the Dr1 or the Albatross.

The 'bare bones' models are really beautiful, and look very accurate component wise. I can imagine them to be a real challenge to build.

Yeah...when Goon says that...hell, Wall St would probably dump their stocks if they knew about this.

Gotta wonder if the stock market bot programs have web crawlers....


Never mind, let's just keep enjoying Goon's incredible talent and the other tidbit's that pop up here.

Oh, and gotta love Dart's *gulp*... from the only guy I know of with the balls to FLY his own model! salute

Look for me on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook or Tic Toc...or anywhere you may frequent, besides SimHq, on the Global Scam Net. Aka, the internet.
I am not there, never have been or ever will be, but the fruitless search may be more gratifying then the "content" you might otherwise be exposed to.

Nixer, my model is so large that it's in the Fisher-Price range of difficulty and detail.

Lol, I have seen many a parent be unable to assemble those FIsher-Price toys without difficulty. Of course their kids can dismantle them in thirty seconds. biggrin
