Oh, good one.

FRED was no longer in the list, so I just tossed it back in--with a note that it'd be really nice if they could tool an All-in-One kit for the A, B, C (Space Cargo Mod) and M ("Super Galaxy") versions all in one box.

Let the trolling and downvoting out of pure spite by certain peeps from another speculative-modeling forum I shan't identify begin...

C-5 Galaxy. "F--- Ridiculous Expensive Disaster" as  they were called at first.

I know it's in a book I have around here somewhere....

BTW, C-5 is up to 97 votes... Airwolf & Redwolf in 1/32 are at 92... the problem is the top three are at 875 (PZL Iryda), 611 (B-32) and 517 (Mi-171).

Never knew that  ;D
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

I'm afraid I'm very wary of these on-line polls. Very easy to set up by the companies, get lots of participation and the guys in the design and development office go wild with excitement and anticipation. Then the accountants go "No". I agree with the comment above that this one in particular is in response to the model buying publics generally low key response to Revell's 2014 announcement.

Also don't forget the time lag from suggestion to kit....3 years ?

Sorry but I'm just in one of my slightly more realistic moves, the drugs must be waring off  :blink:

Funny one: would you believe I've actually found an R/C Almost-Ready-to-Fly of the Nazi Flying Wing from Raiders? It's a single-prop only, and the markings are nowhere near movie accurate... they try to call it a "Horten Bv38."
