eraucubsfan Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Awesome, I wish aerobatic planes were better represented in the modeling world Quote Link to post Share on other sites
setal Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 Awesome, I wish aerobatic planes were better represented in the modeling world Unfortunately there is only a small market for that and big producers don't take this subject very seriously and somehow they are right.... everybody want to build ME-109, Mustangs and FW-190 :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
falcon20driver Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I love it! If it was a pitts I'd really be in trouble. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
setal Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 I have to say that the kit can be built in 3 versions American/French and Romanian here you can see the paint scheme and the decals Quote Link to post Share on other sites
I.Martin Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Nice building!! I really appreciate to see those colorfull kits from time to time. Great masking job. I.Martin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
eraucubsfan Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I love it! If it was a pitts I'd really be in trouble. I agree or a Christen Eagle Quote Link to post Share on other sites
falcon20driver Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Oh the American version is stunning. Where is my wallet!? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
2qwik4u Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Beautiful looking Extra! I'll definitely be picking up one of these. For you guys asking about the Pitts and Eagle, it looks like Fisher Model picked up the molds for the old Airshow models kits. They also have the Jim Leroy Bulldog kit. I've got a couple of the original Airshow Models releases and they are really nice too. -Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites
setal Posted February 24, 2015 Author Share Posted February 24, 2015 And now I have added some details And I have mounted the engine Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Joel_W Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Setal, Simply an amazing build. The engine looks as real as it can get. But your spectacular paint job is just simply incrediable. Joel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
K5054NZ Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I agree - it's a shame aerobatic machines aren't better represented. Perhaps that's why, when they are built, people put in so much effort that the end result is so stunning? That engine is beautiful. When I saw the unmasked photos of the airframe I audibly gasped - it looks fantastic! Bravo! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
