Fred:
And here is the latest one !
A P40 made in EPO (Elapor)...



All the building photos are here : http://www.gliderireland.net/p40gws.htm

First flight this week end  :D

joe:
Looks great Fred. Nice job on the painting. I need an airbrush badly!
An EPO as well so it's a lot more solid than the old GWS models.

Fred:
And heavier ! That thing weight a ton (have to weight it, but that cannot be lighter than this thing actually is!), but plenty of power!  :D

And for once, the photos don't do justice to the model ! Looks much much more nicer in real life!

Love my airbrush :mrgreen:

IceWind:
Hey Fred.

That looks great. You say that model is from GWS and made in elapor???
That is new, i remember their models like the spit, p51 and so on but all made of molded depron. Like my old formosa, poor thing.

Elapor is way better do you know if they improved the design too?
All the comments i got from the line of WW2 planes was they were hard to fly a bit unstable.

I hope you share some fotos or videos of it! :)

Fred:
Hi Nando,

Well, it's not that new. I think that's nearly 2 years old. They did the P40 at the same time as a FW190.
This is larger than the usual GWS kits (1.10m WS) and the design is great !
This come from their new Chinese factory, but unfortunately, GWS is on the verge of closing down, so we might not see their new range of kits (a few jets were on the line...), but time will tell!

As for the flying, I don't think there will be an issue, that fly like a warbird, and as far as we know, nobody crashed it because of a bad design  :roll:

Well, we'll see this week end !  :D
