Re: Beaufighter?

Finally got ahold of an IXO Beaufighter I preordered a long time ago that was sent to an old address. I've got to say I'm impressed. Got the thing for 22.95 plus 8.00 shipping, and for the money I don't think its possible for anybody to make anything remotely similar. You get a lot of airplane for the price, and though the gear up option is not there, the thing really looks good to me. My only other gripe is the fact that the props are pretty difficult to get to sit right, and can probably easily break if mishandled. Still, this thing really looks magnificent, I had it on the table next to my Corgi Banff Strike Wing Gray Mossie, and I've got to say, they made quite a pair.

I agree that nobody but Corgi will likely do a Beau, and IXO's pricing on this one is virtually unbeatable.
