What's wrong with this? The Boeing A380 is equipped with the same propeller driven turbojets that the Do. 335 used in the Vietnam war.

I wish I had a side view, but I'm pretty sure it was "trying" to be a P51, and there was a nice spitfire next to it with the same wrapping.

Those are the attimity of capitalism....

We had a bunch of them at our FBO earlier in the year... literally, half of the packages were mixed in parts. For example, the spitfire i opened up had a Zero's wing. Stuff was printed backwards.

they make those so cheap now, that they dont even fly more than 1 flight due to the foam breaking...

YES!

I bought a Spit 8 and when constructing it I was horrified to find that the flight model was inaccurate :old:

The flaps also extended at full throttle which is again inaccurate :old:

The 109 and 190's were accurate in looks and flight model :old:
