CONTENTS OF OSCAR KIT


Ki-43 for Scale Combat: Solid performer, Japanese Bird of Prey, easiest to build. Tail colors available: Green, Gray.


P-47N Thunderbolt for Scale Combat: Good looking American Heavy Metal, Tons of documented color schemes, great flier. Tail colors available: Red, Yellow, Blue, Gray.


Supermarine Spitfire MkXVI for Scale Combat: Battle of Britain Winner, Outstanding Flight Characteristics.

This plane builds nice, it came out at 59oz. with the C/G right on. I have to do the flight test yet so we will see how she goes.

Don, I have two at the "ready to cover" stage and am wrestling with what to do.
Looks like you painted yours?
What did you cover with first (Bi-Di tape, packing tape, nylon fabric or whatever)?
What did you do to fuel-proof it when done?

Info would be appreciated.

Thanks

Covered in Bi-Di tape then silver flake 3M sign vinyl. The vinyl is fuel proof.
Any open area got coated with 2 part Epoxy

OK Don, thanks. Bi-Di is done, vinyl is ordered!
I was originally thinking of using Rustoleum "Universal", it sticks to tape/Bi-Di pretty well, but it's not fuel proof!
Maybe I'll add invasion stripes to the top so I can tell top from bottom!

show us some photos of that new spitfire... You will love how she handles.

Hi Don, they are both awaiting covering as we speak, so not much to photograph, just two Bi-Di'd wings and fuses. Silver sign vinyl is due to be delivered tomorrow (9/22).
Will post pics when they are complete.

This is fantastic! Just getting scale kits out there and flying scale is important. Chris, way to go man! Lead by doing....

The kits are top quality and very well documented with full scale drawings.

4 spit kits left until I cut the next batch.

Just wait 'til you fly it! This Spitfire is getting people interested in 2948 at my club. and that new .25XLS is HOT

Hear tell he moved up to beaver and duck country for a spell. I'm sure there are a few scale pilots that want to see come back home soon and open up shop again. If you see him around, tell'm the Gekko did great and it's first combat outing at the Texcoma Nats.
