I guess they started selling this kit of the PLA Type 98 MBT again! It's pretty good size. Here is the link:

Couple links came across too for RC planes and aircraft bomb/missile and other accessories:
Missiles, bombs, smart bombs, kits, etc

Large size RTF RC C-17 GlobeMaster! Buy direct from manufacturer:

GWS has a RC C-130 that is 33 1/2 long and 44 1/2 wingspan. Not 1/18 but there is a 1/18 kit out there which requires assembly. Think it's made by EAM. But, GWS C-130 works for me especially the price.

Re: 1:20 Trumpeter Type-98 and other links of interest
the c-17 is about 1/35 scale. Can buy airframe kit for around $180. No 1/18 hercules i know of. There is a 1/16 kit by ASM. It has coast guard markings. There is a Transall r/c that is about 1/23 scale and a c-119 that is about 1/22.

Hey Aferg,
I can't remember the site that had 1/18 C-130. May have been the one you mentioned. Here are some other foam and wood kits that I think are close:
EAM: Foam C-130 and other scale RC aircraft.
http://www.eam.net/EAMRC/scalemulti.htm
http://www.eam.net/EAMRC/skunkworks/C-130/C-130.htm
KittKutters: has a couple of scale wood/foam kits. Not sure if they're still accepting orders.
http://www.kitcutters.com/Nex/NexC130Hercules.htm
http://www.kitcutters.com/Wil/WilC130.htm
I picked up GWS C-130. It's closest I could get that I can modify and still fit in the room.

Re: 1:20 Trumpeter Type-98 and other links of interest
i forgot about the EAM kit, mostly because EAM kits are bears to make. They are basically only a fuselage and then blocks of styrofoam you have to build the wings and tailplane around, from scratch. Blech.
The GWS is the biggest r/c i know of that is pretty much ready to go out of the box, save the GIANT ESM kit, with it's over 8 foot wingspan. The GWS scales out to around 1/30 IIRC. If you don't mind the scale of it, you should look at getting the C-17 as well. Nicely done from most reports. I'd wait a while til prices come down though. Overpriced in my view.

Does anyone know how the bomb and missle kits work? Are they completed but just need painted, or parts that need glued together first? I'd love some more ordnance!
Re: 1:20 Trumpeter Type-98 and other links of interest
hm interesting but not very accurate. Fins are totally wrong on the GBU's
I suspect they are vacuform kits. They are definitely unpainted kits of some kind, most likely they are vacuform.
