QUOTE(WingNut @ Feb 16 2015, 11:49 AM) oh no! just did some background check, comrade. this altaya is kinda like our fighter aircraft collection by allscript and was retailing at €13.99 (about rm60). that will probably give you an indication whether the rm190 is justified they do have some pretty nice looking models in there, though. the ones you're interested in are issues #10 and #62. i kinda like issue #66! http://www.altaya.fr/coleccionable/avions-...a-reaction.htmlYa, that why I ask for worth it or not... RM60++ actual price. If AllScript really will import and translate this magazine into english, and sell it around RM70~80 only, I sure will wait no matter how long. But hopefully that is impossible...

QUOTE(deathsoul @ Feb 16 2015, 03:45 PM) altaya jet some can consider since not many other manufacturer doing the model. but be inform that altaya jet mostly plastic with very minimal diecast metal. it much better than amercom jet and its in 1/72 scale.. the landing gear can be taken out to display in flight mode tho. Thanks for the review info comrade deathsoul. If the price drop little around RM120~130 I sure make quick deal without asking. But seen after found some Altaya aircraft sell at TaoBao more expensive than local, I still will consider. And yes, did you have any Altaya aircraft to show us?

QUOTE(Tiger I @ Feb 16 2015, 11:00 PM) To be fair, 1/72 Frogfoot is hard to come by in kit form locally. Manufacturers that came out with Su-25 designs in 1/72 such as Zvezda, Kopro, KP, Hobbycraft, Italeri, Revell etc are still inaccurate by the rivet counters' standard. Getting an Su-25 in die-cast alleviate such problem dealing with what could be done to make it accurate (as possible). One could just bought one, play for a while (engine noise optional, but highly recommended), and not to worry of the inaccuracies since one paid quite a dough in getting a die-cast Su-25 and just assume it is all good  And being the only one with die-cast Su-25 compared to other manufacturers, Altaya is okay for what it is worth. The landing gear covers are rather impossible to come out without prying if displayed in flight mode, do bear that in mind. The pitot tubes are rather thick (by scale standard), but I would rather it be a bit thick than those things snapped and flew off by the flick of one's finger  If you fancy ugliness as adowobel, then it should be considered (if could be found locally)  Personally, I am digging those shark mouth decals, it make quite a difference in terms of appearance, Thanks comrade Tiger I. Good review. And Thanks everyone, I will keep in mind and consider  , hope I not a rusher, haha.  Yes, Altaya sure is better than Amercom but worth it or not depend on like it or not.

OK, about Gaincorp Su-34, I suggest don't buy at local, way too high price tag. Better buy at TaoBao, I did have website for you all if anyone interest. http://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?spm=a1z10...&id=41702526318Without shipping fee is RMB306 And the I give you the local who sell Altaya aircraft, have a look. http://www.mudah.my/li?ca=8_s&id=388987

BTW guys. Did anyone here did collect some bomber? Found this B-2 at web but I think most of you won't collect this one even me. Juz for some info sharing. B-2 Spirit from New Ray, 1/72 scale die-cast not very realistic... But other smaller scale did have B-2 for sure juz 1/72 scale is very limited.   The realistic B-2 look like (model kit 1/72 scale)  This post has been edited by strikermac: Feb 24 2015, 09:17 AM

Times keep going and the new research is starting, could it be the new Sixth-generation jet fighter look like this? Saw this at Magazine it call F/A-XX. Wiki got some info of this too.  Hope our model will appear too, I know is simple and flat, haha...  *Edit: BTW this is Boeing concept, don't know Lockheed Martin will do another research or not.

QUOTE(WingNut @ Feb 27 2015, 12:15 PM) yup! superbug=superhornet  But surely SuperHornet is keep upgrade, I think is hard to end up at least will use it 10 more years. May be this new F/A-XX will appear 10 years later or more. And sure everyone love SuperHornet too, see the models we collect, hahaha. We are "bug" fans.
