http://www.fineartmodels.com/mustang_thumbs.htm (http://www.fineartmodels.com/mustang_thumbs.htm)

If you have around $4,500.00 US, you to could own a hand crafted/assembled 1:15 scale P-51D Mustang so detailed, you can hardly tell if you are looking at the real thing or not. Several other fine models are also available. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Post by: Wingnut_0 on October 30, 2000, 10:35:00 PM: I've talked to Mr. Aikens several times and have bought many planes from him. He usually tours certain airshows and sells also.

One of my most recent purchases was a 190A-7 from the Aces of the Luftwaffe series (by Armour). Aikens has pretty good deals and he won't yank you if you get damaged goods. If your going to buy I'd buy from him.

I know after talking to him that he's got alot of other WWII collectables (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Post by: Hedgehog on November 01, 2000, 02:52:00 AM: I have 14 of the Armour 1:100 models. They are very nice. They are the "right size" for a large collection.

Some of them are exceptional - for example the F-14 and F/A-18. The P-38 is also quite nice.

What's also amazing is that you clearly see the difference in size between planes. The F-14 is a huge aircraft compared to, say, the F-16. The smallest A/C I have is the P-40, which looks like a kite compared to the F-14.

Post by: Wingnut_0 on November 01, 2000, 06:42:00 AM: have you noticed how much detail Armour puts into their stuff?

Looking at the one's I own I can't believe the minor details they have along with all those extremly tiny decals (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
