Good chance of an r/c Heinkel 111 in 2009

The equivelant of TKO for FSK (the same company that makes the nice r/c B-25) said today that FSK's most likely next bomber will be a Heinkel 111. If they follow the pattern of their previous 2 bombers (which they no doubt will due to engine size considerations) it will be 3 feet long by 4 foot span.....almost perfect 1/18.

FSK's products are very nicely done......near model quality. Plus you can fly it if you're so inclined. They usually deliver announced product pretty much on time as well.

Anyway, good news to me and hopefully others.

Once the He-111 is confirmed i'm going to start campaigning for a Betty. :wink:

you're looking at around $250 but there is a guy in Czech republic who says he can sell them for about $150US plus about $30 shipping. We'll see if that pans out; he's brand new.

nothing yet for links. Just a brief discussion on an r/c message board. It has been all but confirmed now. I posted a message saying i would start saving for it and that i'm sure they'll do a great job on it and the spokesman for the company said they'll be sure to do their best.

So hang onto your battle of britain spitfires, there be heinkels comin'. :)
