Scott,
Have you seen the Hi-Flier XXL and the Hi-Flier XXL - 3x29mm Cluster rocket kits that Toby at vander-burn.com sells?

Good to see there’s another Vagabond fan! My Vagabond was one of my first builds as a BAR that I was really proud of and it’s a great flyer.
Yeah, the H-F XL is a bit awkward looking though it’s another good performer. Toby’s stuff looks really nice (why anyone pays top dollar for a NOS Leviathan or MDRM is beyond me) and I’m thinking I need one of his upsized Cherokees more so than an H-F XXL.
I think my unbuilt H-F XL is going to end up as an upsized Estes #1924 Defender... |
