Great pics on the variants markings. Didn't know there are still military fans around here. Thought the last shop selling model kits miniature hobby already closed down 2 years ago. You guys still get to buy the model kits, airbrush, mr color paints, etc?

Ah i see. Diecast aircrafts are quite limited and most aren't made in real high detailed. Wish they have more for 1:48 scales , maybe maisto, burago and china brand that make diecast cars should turn to military.

diecast are quite limited? my wallet begs to differ...  sweat.gif

i dunno about diecast cars but the 1:72 scale jets are looks pretty detailed to me  whistling.gif

1:72 scale is quite small to me. Used to buy that scale but later went for 1:48 scale when there were cheaper italeri an trumpeter brands. Painting them is easier than smaller ones. Only con is there were less aircrafts available.

Im doubt which brand u refer to is limited but not highly detail? Maisto, bburago and china brand make model car in highly detail? Hahaha..... r u joking or serious?  blush.gif  For aircraft model, comrade wingnut or deathsoul or anyone of here know better than me, but for model car, u should hit the enter key on ur keyboard after enter " Highly detail model car brand" or highend model car brand".....google it.

There is a lot of other brand who can make more detail model car than bburago and maisto but not class as highly detail model car brand yet. U can try search Amalgam model which is the top model car brand in the world, they produce lot of 1/8, 1/12 and 1/4 scale highend model car.

If you r looking for smaller scale such as 1/18, 1/43, please feel free to have a look on CMC, Bauer, GMP, IXO, Exoto, Danbury Mint, Franklin Mint or Technomodel. All this a well know as highly detail model car maker. After this so call "highly detail" brand, this is some medium high detail brand too such as BBR, MR Collection, Peako, Frontiart and Looksmart. After this medium high detail brand, then only we go to medium end brand which is Autoart, Kyosho, Minichamps, Hotwheels Elite, Schuco, GT Spirit and Norev. Those bburago, maisto, Welly, Hotwheel and RMZ is consider low end mode lcar maker.

If u looking for highly detail aircraft, u can have a look on www.flyingmule.com. I can't list out all the brand here as there is too much. From wat i know, Century Wings and Hobby Master is the most famous aircraft brand maker who delivered high detail aircraft if compare to those brand tat u mention above. Other than this, Witty wing and FOV is also a good choices. Hope my comment make u more understand about diecast model car and aircraft.  blush.gif

Thanks for the info. Only diecast scale fighter jets i've seen are those at toys department jusco and toys 'r us. Never knew there are highly detailed diecast aircraft elsewhere other than model kits.

Diecast doesn't have 1:48 scale?

for china brand the choice might be limited n not detail.. but for premium brand like cw, hm n so on, will make ur wallet bleed,. tongue.gif

Yes, china brands have lower detail for model kits compared to germans, japanese and koreans. Italians average. I'm not sure whether you're referring to model kits or diecast, my knowledge on diecast aircraft is currently zero.
