RC Warbird Plane Kits
If you’re a warbird enthusiast looking for the best selection of RC planes, you’ve come to the right place. Our range includes highly detailed models from various historical periods, from WWI to modern times, and RC warbirds powered by gas, nitro-glow, or electric, and crafted from balsa or foam. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced pilot, we have the perfect RC warbird for you.
Detailed RC Warbirds from Different Historical Periods
Our collection of RC warbirds spans different historical periods, offering highly detailed models for enthusiasts of all skill levels. If you're fascinated by post-World War I German aviation, the Focke-Wulf FW 190A is a great choice. This fighter could perform a wide variety of roles, from day fighter to ground-attack aircraft and became the backbone of the Luftwaffe during WWII; in its RC form, the FW 190A offers impressive realism with a wingspan of 1,780mm, electric retract gear, and durable oleo struts.
For those interested in aircraft from the side of the Allies from the pre-World War II era and stretching further, the Douglas DC-3 stands out as a legendary transport plane. This model captures the elegance of the original and is designed for easy flying, with detailed features like scale landing gear and an all-balsa construction for added realism. Moving to post-WWII, the T-28 Trojan offers a great ‘next step’ for pilots advancing beyond beginner-level models. It combines scale aesthetics with practical flying features like functional flaps and retracts, making it versatile for both sport flying and aerobatics.
And for a modern touch, the Siai Marchetti SF-260 is a sleek aerobatic trainer, ideal for pilots who want a model with scale flaps and detailed finishes. This versatile aircraft is known for its high performance and smooth handling, perfect for anyone seeking a contemporary warbird experience. Of course, these are just a few of our choices, while we invite you to browse our vast collection of RC warbirds to find the best model for you.
Nitro-Glow, Gas, and Electric RC Warbirds
If you prefer picking a model based on what powers it instead of the historical period it's from, our selection is no less limited. You will find electric, nitro-glow, and gas-powered RC warbirds in our collection. For a nitro-glow-powered model, you can choose the Pilatus PC-9, a low-wing aerobatic plane designed for intermediate and advanced sport flyers.
It features durable balsa and plywood construction, yet remains lightweight, delivering impressive flight characteristics. Plus, the Pilatus PC-9 is compatible with both glow and electric power options, making it versatile for different preferences.
If gas-powered models are more to your liking, the P51 Mustang is a standout choice. Known for its iconic WWII design, this almost ready-to-fly model combines realism with practical features like retractable landing gear and CNC suspension struts. It offers the option of a gas engine for high performance and customisation, providing both aesthetic appeal and powerful flight capabilities.
For those seeking an electric option, the Carbon-Z T-28 Trojan offers the perfect blend of convenience and performance. This large-scale warbird is easy to fly for both intermediate and advanced pilots, featuring Smart electronics, durable retracts, and functional LED lights. It’s a modern, electric-powered take on a classic military trainer, ideal for pilots looking for a hassle-free flying experience with cutting-edge technology.
Models from Balsa and Foam
You can also choose between RC warbirds made from balsa or foam. The options here are too many, so it’s better to let you browse than make any suggestions. In general, balsa models offer exceptional realism and durability, making them ideal for builders who appreciate craftsmanship and detailed assembly.
Foam models, on the other hand, are perfect for pilots who prioritise convenience and lightweight construction. They’re generally easier to repair and handle, making them great RC warbirds for beginners or those who prefer quick assembly. Both materials provide excellent flying experiences, so whether you prefer the precision of balsa or the ease of foam, we’ve got you covered.
