Maybe I'm being picky, but when I see plain ABS plastic cowlings and a $400 price it makes me wonder how many other places they have been as cheap as they could be.

I have delt with these people and they are "stand up"! They deliver quick and the quality of there kits is excellant. They also have 2 more 120 size P-40's coming in Jan. and April. The finish quality looks great as well. I met them all at the AMA show in Ontario, CA. this weekend. They really do try to please. No worries here!

There kits were flying out of there like burgers at In n' Out. I looked at a fuselage for a 40 size P-40 and man was I impressed. It also looked hand painted, the shark mouth and eyes. Bloodshot eyes and all and blood splatter from the teeth. Awesome stuff!

If anyone goes to a true scale contest with an ARF they are already trying to take off with the "Remove Before Flight" streamers fluttering.
These ships are slanted toward the sport flyer that wants to fly something other than the latest 3-d Darling or a SPAD.
They are also excellent practice ships for the very few that want to try their hand at building and flying a more scale plane in future times

Looks like a great sport model of the P-38! but it won't win many scale contests.

More like GSP all the time. Keep your business under a bunch of different names, then when one name gets a bad rep, just use another.

Pretty sure Raidentech was never GSP. But it is "Nitroplanes".
