Re: REVIEW OF THE 1/18 scale Harrier AV-8B

Been a long time since I posted anything. Anyway, I picked up the Harrier yesterday w/out really reading any of the reviews b/c I didn't want to be persuaded into or out of buying it. I figured I would buy it, warts and all, because I like the plane. I also wanted to support Merit b/c they really tr...

Re: I'm moving away from 1:18th…what scale to replace it????

If you didn't have such a terrific plane collection, I'd suggest you look into 1/16 but that is mostly tanks and trucks with just a few Jeeps. Some very nice pieces just waiting for space on your shelves. Or you can go to " the Dark Side ". You have the room and the 1/6 vehicle and dolly market is ...

Re: I'm moving away from 1:18th…what scale to replace it????

Its not that I don't like the scale, but 2010 for me was the 1st year that I did not purchase a new model :( I know they have repaints and some companies make REALLY expensive ones, but overall the ones that were the norm (21st, BBi..etc) are not around. So what is the next best scale to collect on?...

Thanks for the comments fellas. I love this scale but displaying them properly is always the problem. My wife raises an eyebrow every time I pull on of these beauties out so when I was messing around with these I had to lie and tell her I was photographing them for Ebay!

Love the livery, but price point + already owning 5 other Mustangs = I'll pass. $100 bones for a rehash mold is hard to justify during these hard times!
