HK: I don’t have sole ownership to the Old Crow version…that’s the best one in the kit…go for it. Actually, why don’t you start yours first so I can learn from you as you go along! I’m waiting for the 1/18 Airacutie. I’ll just tell my wife that she “inspired” the build and the nose art reminds me of her.
i just ordered 2 of the Accurate Mini’s,i’ll be doing both race version,i’ll do an “Old Crow” later outside of this GB
Jon, put your hat back on…or is that a lamp shade?..and get back to building![swg]
So, a question related to the XFL-1 Airbonita [4:-)] - Is scratchbuilding the only route to this one or is there a conversion kit in any scale?
Put me in. Since mucker beat me to the AM Old Crow I’ll do the Eduard P-400. I don’t know if it will be Airacutie or not. The wife may have issues if the tatas on my planes are THAT big.[:-^]

I guess I just got so use to seeing it from the SSGB, I guess it is just stuck in my head. You’re not gonna have Lars from Mettalica come after me for some sort of copyright infringement are you?
LOL! Yeah, he got alittle intense didn’t he…
Nah… I’ll share the hat. May need help for an airline ticket for Rusty, though. He broke his wing trying to hitch a ride to a pizza place.
Let him fly with 1 wing. As he gets tired the circles will get bigger and he will eventaully end up here.
Put me down with the Founderie Models KingCobra in 1:48. Ive always loved this plane but never got around to building it.
Welcome aboard ollie.

Great Models Webstore has this listsed on their site but I would contact them to see if it is in stock. If not… it takes them FOREVER to get stuff in.
Might be worth picking up the lastest issue of Model Airplane Int’l. There are a couple of articles about P-39s and the Has. P-400.
Oh goody… an excuse to go to the LHS[;)]
Just a heads up. cybermodeler.com has a article that compares three kits side by side. It is in the special freatures dept.

Thanks for posting that!
wing_nut- put me down for the Hasegawa one. It may be the -400, but I also noticed on the Hasegawa site a -39Q/N, so maybe that one will be available soon.
I have not seen a release date on this one either.
Thad
Welcome aboard ollie.
Thank you. Has anyone else built this kit? If so can they comment on what it is like?

Squadron didn’t list it but International Hobby Supply (Sentai’s retail store) did. So I’m still even more model poor…
but thanks for the lead, I’ve been on the lookout for the XFL-1 for many years. I have a couple of the Planet resin kits and they are very nice in the box.
Add me to this one too.
I know I know but I have a LOT of time to get it and build it [:D]
Bud
All me to this one too.

What ya gonna build?
Got the Quickboost resin egine yesterday[:D]

I updated the roster to show you choice lone. I also added a rule to allow mutiple entries, to allow anyone that picks up the Eduard Dual Combo and builds 'em both. So if you do your Old Crow too throw it in the mix.
All me to this one too.
