honestly I really wanted to purchase planes and tanks at full price. The stores kept putting them on clearance - once I was about to complain and ask to be charged the full amount

vulgarvulture wrote:1. Me-163--In 1:18 scale, this popular model would be simple, small, available in numerous schemes and very, very popular. Nothing but up-side here. No big props to break (that little generator prop doesn't count). The landing gear is a removable trolley. The wingspan would only be 20 inches. Numerous MRC Easy Model 1:72 schemes all sold well. Its German, and in the military toy business, German sells. All available in a package that would probably retail for less than $50. Elementary, my dear Watson, elementary. In light of this, why are $200+ Su-27s even being considered? Come on manufacturers, wise up, stop reaching, get smart and make this plane.
German sells, especially any of the mainstream wunder weapons. Anything that gave the Germans a false sense of hope (considering the actual combat kills to losses). The Komet makes perfect sense to me in the current economic environment. Popular, simple, cheap, broad potential audience.

I agree, the Komet is where it's at.
