Plastic..but some VERY nice detail work.
I got the Donnie Boy P-47. This sucker is huge..about a 2 foot wingspan! :-)

They also make some cool action figures.

Wish they would advertise with pictures of the actual product not some expert built 1/48 scale master.
-
What are they priced at?
-
39 bucks or so, I have the original 109, p-51, F4u, P-38, P-47, Spitefire, and huey.
I did not know about these. the 109G and 190D look SWEET
They have a bunch of tanks in the same scale. These are all 1/18, it make them big.
For pics of some look up my My cat and dog thread.

Wal-Mart carries them for $39. The store near me only has the P-40B in Flying Tigers colors. They've had the P-47 before and I guess it sold out because there weren't any on the shelves.
The only plane on there that strikes my fancy is this one:

I'll have to keep my eyes open.
I'm hoping they come out with some version of the P-51 and F4U eventually.

Not models, they come as you see 'em.
I have the P-51 and F4U-5.
-
I've got the P38 - looks nice... just wish the rocket tubes on the inner wings were detachable.

Do they have any moving parts?
They dont tell you anything on these websights.

Cuz the G6 is the most beautiful fighter ever! :)
-
Yeah, the G6 just looks so.... so.... EVIL! Its also the plane I've built the most scale models of. I don't know why I'm attracted to it. Maybe I'm giving myself to the Dark Side. I'm trying to love the Spitfire this tour but I just feel so darn good-two-shoes in it. Its hard to feel The Hate in a Spitfire.

Moving parts depends on the model, most of the early ones, the 109e P-52, F4u, and p-38 lack moving parts other then the canopy and props.
The Later ones like the P-47 and Spitfire have moving controls. and the P-47 has flaps that go down.
The detail is getting better as well. The Spitfire looks really good. So does the 47. The corsair and P-38 are good. Not quite at good though.
The first one they did the p-51 was not great but the 109 E is not bad at all.

I'm sorry to ask stupid question, but I'm looking for a desktop model with moving parts. When you say Moving controls, what do you mean? I mean, there's no little stick that makes the elevators move and all, right? You mean all the control surface can be moved by hand?
-
Hey, Muck, maybe you could look into getting an R/C kit that could be converted to a static model? Maybe by replacing the R/C motor with a simply electric one and kit-bashing a scale model cockpit into the R/C fuselage?
Just an idea.
Then again, the R/C fuselage would probably lack the detailing that a scale model fuselage could provide, like rivet details and panel lines.
Now that I think about it, I think Tamiya at one time made a "Visible Mustang" where the fuselage was clear plastic and you could see all of the interior ribbing, control cables, etc. Maybe that's something you could check in to.
Maybe even take one of those plastic "Ultimate Soldier" airplanes and add control cables to it?
-
GF-
I thought about that, but soon realized I lack both the talent and the time to build an RC airplane or convert it.
Maybe some day.
-
Maybe 21stCenturyToys will hear your plea and do something with an airplane like they've done with the tank (http://www.21stcenturytoys.com/images/video/RC_short.wmv).

$400 bucks for a complete flying rig isn't bad at all! Judging from the pics of what comes in the box, I would think any adult could get this baby together and flying.

I just don't trust my ability to get this thing airborne and back down safely! :eek:
