Actually, I understand why the F-22 Raptor is so popular, because of its inclusion in famous movies etc like transformers. But one thing I don't like about the model, is that it's a victim of its own design. Look at it, so smooth, not many lines and colours, even the weapon loadout is stored inside. Compare that to the Hornet just before it. So many lines and details. So I don't understand why everyone is rushing for the raptor, when other models actually do have a bit more details.

Erm..tom criuse

Come on...money is ready to burn!

Went to Allscript on Thursday for any updates. Non. One new bugger in the office announced new issues had arrived..

But managed to exchange my 2 F/A-18s (with the 2 inverted USA decals) and get a wheel cover from one of the returned starfighters. Noticeably, there is a lot of returned aircrafts with many of them suffer from lousy workmanship (put bluntly).
However, if you check your purchases properly, most can be very good examples, but I don't mean accurate replicates.
The new issues are coming, so I've been informed. Just need to wait...

Also on the side note, the giant warplanes / bombers collection will depend heavily on the response of the existing fighter aircraft collection. And mind you the existing fighter aircraft collection was brought in because of the sold out demand for the air combat collection... (I am still missing issue 29 and 32 even after subscribing to the collection....).
If this goes sour, I think we will probably not be seeing anymore of these collections coming to our shores anytime in the future...

Surprisingly when I was there, there was still at least 2 boxes of F/A-18s in pristine condition still sitting in the office. Makes me wonder whether was it preparing to go out on sale or failed to make any sales at all.

Oh no
Is that mean no hope for the bomber series

Well... this is how business works  
can only patiently wait

Nice planes.
Should open what. Not a public holiday. Call them first lo.
Bombers or FAC? Why?

hey guys...

if any of you do come across issue 41 grumman f-14 tomcat, do let mikesas1992 know ya. i know so well the feeling of missing an issue...

i missed issues 8 and 11. the f/a18 is simply too iconic to miss and any ww2 collection would've have been incomplete without the zero fighter. i didn't think it would've sold out so quickly then as i was away but when i was back, it was a mad hunt and i didn't have the benefit of this forum until i became truly desperate. by then it was too late as allscript had exhausted their entire supply... and i had to resort to ebay to complete the collection.

on a side note and off topic, from my personal experience, lukass971, although much cheaper than amercom_hobby, most of the models i got from him had issues, the worse of which was the b2 with "warping" at the right wing that i couldn't rectify (most other issues were detached attachments).
