hehe... different strokes for different folks. some collectors find these "kneeling" versions more collectible than the normal version (incidentally i believe only cw does f14s in launch configuration, although i could be wrong. not sure if cw ever did a "kneeling" version of the f8, though. i think no.

launch configuration is not only the flaps, but the front wheels are also in the lowered position. it's this uniqueness that makes it much sort after, i guess. but like i said, different strokes for different folks. alternatively, you could try hunting for the ww version. their santa cat has swept wings (but no in flight configuration).

are you looking for any particular av-8b harrier II, or any model will do? mebbe comrade deathsoul can assist since he knows hanx quite well. will keep a lookout for you and let you know if i do come across one...

Any idea are they bringing in new stock before X'mas?

Any idea what plane has arrived?

here's a tip... take 3/4 shot from a 25 degree angle above the front of the starboard side. i think that's her best side 

by the way, strikermac, your model paintjob also feels powdery or not? anyway... here's possibly the worst ever f14 72 scale ever made:

yup... that's about the best angle to snap that swordsmen, although i would prefer a slightly lower angle. anyway, in all fairness, their f/a18 super hornets are pretty good too...

Can have a try if need. But I already have GainCorp F/A-18F so won't have another one.

Here flyingmule photo example close-up, sure is better than the F-14 Swordsmen.


Even the F-15 quality is acceptable.

Is that also FOV model? or other brand?

I see.
Look like FOV still got a lot need to improve on their aircraft.

Anyway nice FOV F-18F, deathsoul.

deathsoul no celebrate x'mas, but no harm wishing 

anyway, comrade jdk... you also got good wife take you to mhh and bought you biplane collectible from bbw sale 

Deathsoul, do you know whether the loading bay's ram of the FOV Osprey can be open? The  one in the other brand, Air Force One the ram can be opened. Probably that is the reason for the price different. My FOV one can only view on X'mas cos' is my Xmas present.  

looking forward to pics post christmas. keen to see which biplane you got... and also the awesome osprey! i'm taking a break since hm's releasing two f15s next... and got quite a number of incoming sapu-ed from hlj's recent sale (awesome bargains they were at 80% off!).

merry christmas and happy holidays! yups... achieved my 20(f)14 target and sure looking forward to 20(f)15 thanks to hm...
