B-29 and X-1

Post by KKH » Mon Mar 07, 2011 5:42 am

While this is technically probably not 1/18, I couldn't resist posting this. Just awesome. Radio controlled B-29 and Bell x-1. Hope it hasn't been posted before, this is well worth the time to watch.

regards

I am lucky enough to live close to http://www.bomberfieldusa.com/ and have seen it live, but not sure if it is the same set up/pilot or a duplicate.

If you are ever in the NW Houston area on those dates listed on the site it is well worth spending a day looking around. Specially the Big Bird gathering in September.

BTW, when these two come out in 1/18, that is when I will quit collecting.

Do it! It is 'bucket-list' worthy! I have a picture somewhere of 12-15 B-17s parked next to each other.
