HM Hawkeye does look a very good model, and glad numerous small corrections were done, to get it right.
However, the first scheme is certainly not for me.
Hopefully the second release will be more to my taste, knowing the basic model itself is good

Snake Man: I also have that Corsair that Patrick made. I have it on display. I also have the HMS Collasus "99 Corsair. As far as HellCats, Patrick was using one I supplied for him to use as samples. I eventually received it back in the colors off the USS Franklin. He did great work, sorry he had to...

Re: Any Scoop on the new 1/18th Scale Harrier...?
Regardless of the price and the delays, got to give it up to Merit for taking on a plane with complex shape and details that could be so much more challenging than say an F-117 Stealth with all the simple flat panels. Taking the time to get it right is worth a wait and a few more $$ too. Still look...

I "think" that they are decals, but done very well, so it is hard to tell. No silvering, borders, sheen, or anything that would make it obvious it was a decal. Looking at it, it certainly appears to be painted on, they are done that well. Chunks certainly appears to have the inside scoop, on what wa...

I currently have Series 1 number 5 of his FAA Corsair repaint. Based on the work he did I introduced Patrick to this forum.

Re: Any Scoop on the new 1/18th Scale Harrier...?
$240 isn't too bad, and about what I thought it would be. Considering the model looks good, from what we have seen of it, think it is a fair price. Was disappointed to see that no pilot will be included, but not a deal breaker. Like everyone, looking forward to pics of the actual production model. :D

Re: 1/18 P-51D Display at the Gala
Nice display Axis, and well done Razor and Corey for helping out.
One of the nice things about 1/18 is their presence. You certainly wouldn't get the same type of display showing 1/48 models.

Re: Can you recommend good mail order co for 1/72 armor+Jets
Any of the online retailers should offer good shipping services.
It is usually more about the price, than the actual shipping, but does pay to shop around a bit.
And being in the US, you have the added advantage of free, or very cheap shipping from US based retailers.

Fantastic series, but as CplSlade pointed out, far from new. CGI will be looking somewhat dated by now, but other than that, it really is great.

Nice, but not perfect. As has been pointed out, has some flaws and oversights.
Certainly not worth $38,000, in my opinion.

Pretty tempted myself, especially for the price.
But only so many types and scales of models that I can do. Planes and race cars will have to suffice.

Glad to see you have an excellent 1/18 Dauntless back in your stable, and an example of the exact plane you were wanting.

Went for the He 162.
Small, relatively easy, and a proper Luftwaffe jet fighter.
Do 335 would be great as well, but it would be big, and more complex than He 162.
All good choices Matthew,and can see the votes reflect this so far.

Re: What Would you all rather See ?
F-4 Phantom, easily.
The A-10, while a great CAS aircraft, certainly won't win any beauty contests, and is a very basic aircraft.
Phantom,on the other hand,has everything going for it, countries that operated it, and schemes.
Much harder to do though, as am sure Matthew will confirm.

As a "true commission", I think the Arrow was it. Aferg.

It was a commission Tman. Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum approached HM to do this iconic Canadian aircraft, and it is marketed as a CWHM model, and says so on the packaging.
