Blood for the Baron!

For ages I've liked the idea of a cheeky Bi-plane for the Baron. So I bought this....



It cost me about $40 including shipping from the US - Bargain!!! Thing is now it's arrived I'm not sure if I can bring myself to paint it red! It's in ace condition - stickers have never even been applied! It's pretty much mint in box, other than it's missing it's banner and the ladder. Not sure if the pilot is meant to look like the Colt Seavers but he doesn't - he's got a tash too, so is clearly gay.







It even has clips for him to wing walk, and has a handle and trigger that (if the box is to be believed) makes the propellor spin, and an engine noise! (settle down Andy - no flashing lights I'm afraid!). I haven't got a battery, so i cant check it. Yet.









So, the Poll is (to a very biased audience) - do I paint it red? Does get a bi-plane, or does the Fall Guy Stunt Show keep wowing the crowds. Or, worse still, do we let & have a go in it????

"PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"

i tempted to say paint it red........... but i just cant bring my self to!
this is way too cool, even i wouldnt f*ck with it & im a dumbass when it comes to customising stuff!

my initial reaction was "paint it red" but it really is cool.
keep this one and see if you can get another?

hell no, don't paint it. and don't let stormy and mu near it. Mu'll only break it.

Not one vote yet for paint it red! It's looking promising for the Fall Guy Stunt Show! Now if only I could find a huge old battery I could check the engine still works...

We may well end up replicating that old Southern American stunt of "The Barrel Drop" if & get to play in it, so the only one standing any chance of getting broken is . If breaking him were possible. (for those who dont know what I mean JJ & Captain Chaos do it at the start of the second Cannonball Run! )

No, it's in too good of a condition. I'd try and get another tatty version.

Once i get that motor running Ross it may well fly itself over to you! I have a spare pilot already, and a Colt himself on the way, so pretty soon I'll have a full crew and the Fall Guy himself doing the wing walk! That's if I dont paint it red, of course, but the way the Poll is going.

Shame the Banner isn't there - Muton Poppins could have flown once more if it was!

will you buy another one? Do you mind wether that one stays as is? If you answer is no then paint it red!

Dont do it Steve !

Find a knackered loose one and paint that red .... not this one !

Perhaps let Stormie and Muton have a little go ?
