I have a new hobby shop and sell Parkflyers as well as EPP Foam WW2 fighters. I am the only one importing an EPP Focke Wulf at this time. It’s a very durable almost indestructible Speed 400 sport scale WW2 fighter plane. Controls are elevator and ailerons. It is capable of high speed aerobatics as well as having good low speed characteristics. As you know EPP foam is very tough and resilient. The introductory price is $99.00.

I also carry the Nora, Micro HLG, Draggonette, Elfi, Chubby, Lady, Twinstar, Smiley and all Hobbyflite products.

More on the Focke Wulf
From: Geoff Barker email: geoffbarker@ozemail.com.au

Hi Ken,

It is great to hear that there are other flyers who appreciate (near) scale warbirds. We have only just started out and have sold kits to modellers locally, interstate and globally including the US, all from word of mouth. The interest has been staggering, and we are just trying to keep up with it all and still squeeze some flying in.
The first two made (the two Focke Wulfs in the pictures on the web site: www.users.bigpond.com/bananaman/S&B%20Models.htm) were not intended to be kited, but after countless requests we relented and wella. All the feed back so far has been very, very positive. With comments from one person, "What can I say. WOW!!!!" Glenn Salisbury, Melbourne.
S&B Models is a small group of modellers like you, who take pride in hand making quality kits for fellow modellers. However, we believe our kits are unique as they all feature the nearly indestructible EPP foam pre-shaped very near scale fuselage with a clear pre cut canopy. Unlike other EPP kits, ours REQUIRE NO SANDING OR SHAPING IN ANY WAY for a very near scale finish comparable to an expensive composite kit.
The URL for our web site is http:www.users.bigpond.com/bananaman/S&B%20Models.htm (actually a customer who liked the kit so much did a web site for us!). We now have distributor for the USA, Marky's Hobby.
Cheers, Geoff
