More new Warbirds! http://www.hobbypeople.net has a couple of WWII birds worth looking at, first is the JU 88 Stuka, a replica made with a moulded plastic fuselage, wood built-up wing. W.S. 40", lt. 29.7". Requires a 4 channel radio, 3 micro servos, motor (doesn't specify size but looks like about a 400-480) ESC and battery. $ 59.99
Also from Wattage, another P-47 Thunderbolt, this is not the same model I mentioned in my " Links" addition last week. This "Jug" features (like the Stuka) a moulded fuselage, built-up wings, complete hardware. W.S. 41.75", Lt. 38.5", Wt. 27-30 oz., wing area 275 sq/in, wing loading 14-16 oz/sq/ft. This model is also 4 channel and doesn't list a motor size but with those dimensions I'd guess a 480 or larger. $ 89.99
Next we have http://www.wonderhobby.com Under " Electric Warbirds" they list 2 versions of a German twin-engine F/B called the "Mars" $ 40.00, A B-29 for $ 39.95, A P-51 Mustang for $ 59.95 and a Spitfire MK 2 for $ 59.95. Specs on the " Spit" are: W.S. 35.8", Lt. 31.5, Wing Area 232 sq/in, Flying weight 17.6 oz. It's described as a wood construction, balsa skinned ARF for a 400 size motor. 4 channel radio required. The model shown in the photos is white with black invasion stripes and a red rudder. It also sports American markings, this is a livery I'm not familiar with!
Last, a link for 3-views, these are not super-detailed scale drawings but do provide enough info for a sport model. http://www.beuliland.com/html/maquetas/planosww2.htm has listings for aircraft used by;
Germany, 24 different aircraft, including the Do 217, Do 335, four FW 190's, Ta. 152, 154, He 100, 112, 162, four Bf 109's, you get the idea!
American, 23 different planes, Russia, 30 planes, British, 22, Japan 15, Italian 7 and multi-national craft- 20 drawings.
Have Fun!
