Good to see that our insurance companies are actively seeking newer and braver markets? Toy airplanes? Yeah, I'm sure that impacts my premiums somewhere...
The Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA) has had free insurance for their members for many years. I'm sure many members join just for the insurance!


I've been an AMA member for many years but it has never been free for me. Unless, of course, I'm paying for the magazine subscription and they are throwing in the insurance at no charge! :D

As for Fw-190's, there is one scratch-built Fw-190 replica in Australia (all metal) that is 70% scale I believe, and appears to be much more true-to-scale than the WAR replica. Too bad there's only one, and no plans or kits to build more of them. :( This is one of the only photos I've seen of it...


Rob, your pic and the one linked to in the original post are the same airplane. Upon closer inspection I think the pic you posted is not of an all aluminum airplane as I don't see any rivets. Looks more like the wood and foam WAR kit.

When, oh when will someone take the M-14P Russian radial engine and build a 70% scale Corsair around it?


Well... its no Corsair but the museum I work with is taking an AI14 (early model M14) and building a 100% Sopwith Camel around it :lol:

And no... I'm not kidding.
