Absolutely unbelievable!
F-14, F-15 F-6 Oh my!

But they are very very nice.

those look like the HPH models from the Czech republic...probably the UK distributor for them. I have some awesome pics of the He-219 and Me-410 i was sent from the guy in the Czech Republic who owns the factory that makes them..
I remember figuring out that they would cost about $4000 each by the time i paid for the model, shipping, customs etc. That's about $3400USD. You have to pay all of it up front and it takes about a year to complete your model.
They are beautiful though..
edit......they are the HPH aircraft. Some nice shots of them in the gallery. Wonder if they will give group discounts.

Detail costs money. How real do you want it?
Maybe a group buy discont?
Even at that cost they don't look like the landing gear or wing folds are functional. There has to be a trade off between functionality and detail at such a small scale.

Pretty cool stuff! It doesn't help the fact that some of the products shown (for example, the ME-109G) are the same planes as the 21c aircraft. In a way, it shows just how great a deal an XD plane is for even $60. That F-14 is amazing!

Looking around the room, I think the best looking 21st planes are the D-Day Spitfire and the ME-109G. Yeah, so the stripes are reversed on the Spitfire, still love the paint scheme. It grabs my eye every time I look at it. The 109G (Sahl) is just so right looking......

Incredible indeed!!!! BUT you better have the cash. If I had the $$$$ I would take the FG-1D Corsair and the Mustang plus I would buy one of their Titanic models as well. But thats a pipe dream unless I will the Lotto
![Sad :(](./images/smilies/icon_sad.gif)
.
Looking at the FG-1D Corsair though has givin me ideas on how to upgrade the BBI Corsair which is already a beauty in my book.

When I was in the Marines I did a 6 week school in Oceana VA )1984-85ish) at the navy base and remember seeing the Tomcats fly in fast with the wings swept back and I always thought of alien attack craft swooping in.
Just so wicked looking.
For all those A-10 fans, our base in SC used to be a target during war games and there ain't nothing like being on the ground when a A-10 comes rolling in on you.

![Confused :?](./images/smilies/icon_confused.gif)
i always thought these models were great but after some inquiries the price was too high ! i wonder now about the idea of ordering them some parts : for exemple a 4 blades prop for our corsair (to make an F 4 u 4 !) or some JDAM, mavericks or NIGHT HAWK pods for the BBI F 18 ! my dream is to make my BBI F 18 an F 18 D two seater ! with their parts !!!!! it could be a more affordable mix !

I sent HPH an email and asked the question about the possibility of producing 1/18 scale aircraft photo etch or resin accessories since there are none available. Interesting to see if they respond.
