Here is something a little different. An Air Tractor agricultural plane ie crop duster. Almost 18 inches long, nearly a 28 inch span. Decent replica....spinner could be a bit longer and pointier and wheels are a bit too big but not bad. Would work best as an AT-302 or an AT-400, which are the smallest Air Tractors made (the biggest model Air Tractor makes look nearly identical but are almost 40 feet long and have 60 foot wingspans.....there is even a military version). For either of AT-302 or AT-400 it works out to 1/19.6 scale, so a bit on the small side but a very unique aircraft. Shop around for a better price.

XFly Su-57 Felon. Decent camo colours and application of digital paint scheme. Smallish though, about 1/20.5.....about the size of a 1/18 F-18.

I have to say, Xfly has made some really nice aircraft. Well proportioned, decent detailing for an rc, pretty accurate colours and markings.. The Su-57, Su-27, and F-22 they make are all pretty much in scale with each other at about 1/20. Add to that the Freewing Crusader which is also about 1/20. That's a decent start to a 1/18 sub collection. Put them in a different room and you probably couldn't tell they are smaller than 1/18.

A beautiful looking SR-71. Stated scale is 1/17 but it's actually about 1/17.6, nearly bang on 1/18.

Come to papa...
