At the prices they are at currently they are Ok , I have 10 , B17 , 24 & 25 , Stuka , Spit , FW190 , P51D , Hurri , Me109 , Mossie ; the cheapest was £ 20 the most expensive was £ 50 , certainly would not pay anymore than that .

[strix1998]

are not bad especially at prices now available but as Kev says do not pay over the odds..................

£30 for a 1/48 heinkel seems dirt cheap i can only pressume they are not that good/popular or both? what are the stukas like?

The FM Stukas are actually quite good, especially the desert 'Wasser' version and Rudel's 'tankbuster' :cool:.

http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll8/tomswel1/snow165.jpgas promised the pics, the canopy also comes off so when HM bring the pilots out will be worth adding to. These are the bargains of the day IMO at the moment and i know Fm are a dumping ground ATM but these ive noticed are selling pretty well and wont last too long IMO

As and when. Would be nice to see mate. I landed a B17 earlier (http://forums.diecast-aviation.eu/showthread.php?t=7191)in the year to photograph for forum use, but it was MASSIVE! Photographed it and was very nice, but too big to display for me I am afraid....

It will be offered as a BC Day prize. ;) :)

Surprised you didn't go for the Swiss AF version but guess they must be getting very scarce by now.:rolleyes:

Are the crosses on the HE111 correct? I don't recall seeing any pictures with them so big.

The crosses as i said earlier are based on a plane that did have large crosses(read it somewhere) but i'm no expert so cant be sure,dont think i've seen the swiss version and 4 will be more than enough:unsure::LOL:

I ordered the Polish one from the Mule , £ 50 delivered so not too bad . Decided on this one as looking at some pics it was the most accurate , the KG55 one is too light and the BoB has both wings marked when I think it should be only one .:)

they're just as good and impressive if you can live with the odd inaccuracy,but how can you be sure there weren't any planes that colour or with two markings anyway? out of curiosity. No expert on these things but when they dont exist anymore just wondering how anyone can be sure on whats corect and what isn't? would there not have been odd differences from plane to plane?
Have the torpedo one on its way will post pics of that on its arrival.
