all built and ready to fly. I expect it to go for close to a thousand.

That would be cool to have an XD crew manning the stations as it flew in the air! Someone with some electrial know how could rig up some MGs that moved and look like they are firing with the waist gunners behind them.
AND drop bombs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i know guys were using xd figures for their EAM b-17's (which are 1/17.9 scale). Actually, the figures were too heavy so the made casts of them and made vacuform copies.

i believe the kit it is made from is an old r/c kit from the 70's. It's a fairly complex kit from what i recall. Balsa frame and monocote covering, typical r/c stuff...

The EAM kit i mentioned is also pretty complicated. The fuselage is premolded fibreglass but the wings and tailplane have to pretty much be made from scratch.
