Yellow A/C makes some beautiful kits.  Thought of a paint scheme yet?

the only thing i don;'t like about that kit is the air retracts.

 i've always had bad luck with air retracts......i tend to like the electric ones in my pony.......

No paint scheme as yet swagger... doing some research, as I need documentation.  I intend to compete at the nats, and possibly Top Gun scale competitions with it.

As for the retracts, I have had bad luck with some brands of retracts.  Yellow is not one of them.  I LOVE the retracts on my yellow F/A-18, and these seem to be VERY well built as well.  The only retracts I have ever used that I liked better, were Century Jet.

Just finishing a Vallencourt Seafury, with an all aluminum finish. should be flown within the next couple of days. We put a GT-80 on it, that should be more than enough to fly it. Post the pics when I fly it.
