I would like to get an F-15 and F-16 in 1:72nd scale. What do you guys think is the best of these models on the market? Thanks for the help.

Definitely Dragon.
They have about a dozen F-16's, and F-15 comes in C, D, and E Strike Eagle. Although the Strike Eagle is basically a D, without any bombs.
Although the new Witty F-15's do come with ground ordinance.
If you want a F-15C, Dragon hands down.
Although Hobby Master are supposed to be doing a F-15 Strike Eagle, and an F-16. But these are not available yet, and will be much more expensive.

Thanks Snake,
I got an X-Plus 72nd scale F-4, and it is just beautiful. It was kind of pricy, but wow what a beautiful model it is.

Doesn't get any better than XPlus in 1/72 jets, P39time.
Although they only do the F-4 for now. And they are definitely "premium priced".
I have the first two, "Sundowners" and JASDF "Black Panthers".
Back to the F-15, and F-16. Go for Dragon. Pretty cheap, and the best available till HM get in the game. Only let down by lack of weapons.

Hi,
I have several F-15 and F-16... many of them from Witty wings (israeli planes).
I have some Dragon F-16 and they are better than witty wings.
But, I bought the last F-15 E from witty wings, and it rocks... with bombs (dragon's ones are without weapons, as said Snake... too bad).
And the price is cheaper than Hobbymaster and the quality is good...
For information, i sell a dragon F-16... 50037 wolf pack... absolutly new and never displayed. take a look on ebay.

I have a couple of Japanese air force Witty Wings F-15s, and they are really nice. Very well made with great paint work. Only thing I don't like is the pilot figure. The pilot is not painted well, and he is glued into the plane. Seems he is made of some sort of rubber and very hard to get out of the plane.
