I need help deciding what to do...

Post by aferguson » Sun Apr 26, 2009 4:59 pm

I've been working on my r/c Ju-52 and i'm at the point where i have to decide on which way to go. One option is to hang it and have fallschirmjagers jumping out (i have 3 i can use for the purpose). The other option is to hang it with a cargo load of fuel drums inside being attacked by my 1/18 RAF P-40, with the dorsal gunner of the Ju-52 firing back.

Both are very appealing and i have been going back and forth for days and need help deciding what to do. This is probably the only Ju-52 i'm going to ever have due to space/expense and availability.

So which should i do?
i never met an airplane i didn't like...

Dude,

Paratroopers all of the way. If you do it this way it will be the first in 1/18 history.

1/18 Paras jumping out of a plane would be a sight to behold. :D :D :D

Yep. Paratroopers are the way to go.
I'm a legend in my own mind.

I kind of like the attacking P-40 idea.

Fallschirmjagers all the way. :)

Isn't that against the Geneva Convention or something?

The Fallshirmjagers were firing from every opening at the screaming Pterodactyls bearing down on the Junkers, one of the men who jumped became a tasty snack as he tried to escape by jumping from the clawed crippled plane as it hurtled to the ground. The Pilot tried desperately to control the wounded bird. Meanwhile the troopers had a choice of going down with the plane, or jumping into the jaws of a hungry dinosaur or fight...
