If you could get any but just "one" model airplane kit for Christmas (cost excluded), what would it be ?

Merry Christmas

That's a neat question. I think after hearing all the BUZZ about it lately my interest would run toward the T-Rex ARC. I like big planes anyway as they are usually slower !!

Randy Smith "Shrike". Only he doesn't kit it. Perfect for a .40VF & pipe, IMO, tho I'm planning on a Stalker .51RE and muffler.

Well, I wasn't going to respond to this thread, but here goes. There are so many out there I can't decide which one. I do have the "La Donna" on its way. Also the "Stuntwagon". If was well enough off I would settle for one of each of the rest. MERRY CHRISTMAS too all.

A Walter Umland Colossus kit. Oh wait, I have one under the bench.

This Christmas, I'm giving my kids, to give to me, the LaDonna.

But as long as we're dreaming here, I want the F-86

The F-86 would be cool...but I've about given up on it, during my lifetime.

Yep, you must be like me; I've been told I had one foot in the grave and the other on a roller skate

But that was ten years ago.......I'm saying I got both feet danglin!

If cost were not a factor, T-Rex in a heartbeat. But then is an ARF really a kit...?

Larry Fulwider · « **Reply #24 on:** December 11, 2009, 11:36:08 AM »

Any kit with a coupon inside that says:

When ready for primer, contact Randy Powell who will finish this airplane for you

That's funny, all my kits came with one.

I didn't get a coupon.

Combat Kittens! Yep, haven't seen a box of these in a long time. Great deal back in the day. The box contained not one, but two kittens for about the same price as most other single plane kits! Since I loved speed, and crashed alot this was a good deal for a twelve year old kid!

Send the plan to Eddie at Lazer Kits. He is a wizard at the art, and very affordable!

"When ready for primer, contact Randy Powell who will finish this airplane for you."

I don't think that Randy will mind if I put the coupon in my kits. He has the time, and should have no problem doing the work for free!

There is another great looking F-86 by Don Hutchinson. But I am sure that Flora won't let Don do any free finishing. He is very busy drawing great profile warbirds.

Mike, Beleive it or not, Brodak is to kit it, eventually. It has been in their online catalog for at least a year with "coming soon" captioned on it! We shall see...

Actually Pat has a laser, and can cut the parts from any of his plans for you, no need to send it off.
He cut the parts for my Avenger off my plans, always has GOOD LIGHT wood, and picks the right stuff for the right parts,,

I would just make sure that Randy has checked for bats in his shop before he starts painting !
