" WHO MAKES THE BEST, PRE-BUILT 1:32 AIRCRAFT? "
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'll break this down, in my opinion. I welcome contrasting views.
#1. 21st. CENTURY TOYS ++ Wide range, with lots of variants.
+ Good detail.
+ Good use of materials.
- Prone to breaking the landing gears and propellers.
++ Fantastic price points.
+ Removable pilots
* Should have constructed the landing gears and other weak parts out of metal.
#2. FORCES of VALOR -- Only made 4 different aircraft.
+ Good detail.
- Crude use of materials, there even heavier than the tanks.
-- The landing gear collapses or can sometimes break under it's own weight.
- Starting to get a little too pricey.
++ Features 2 pilots, one seated and one standing.
* You can only repaint your products so many times before you start pissing off the collectors.
#3. BLUE BOX TOYS --- Only made 2 different aircraft, very few repaints, if any.
Have never been re-issued.
+ Good detail.
++ Well constructed, good use of materials. Durable.
+++ Cleaver, interchangeable landing gear options. Sturdy.
+ Affordable.
+ Removable pilots.
* DAMN! I love their products, too bad they had to stop at two. Reissue please.
#4. CORGI + Decent range and variants.
+ Good detail.
+ Well constructed, but crude use of materials. Ridiculously heavy.
--- Ridiculously expensive!
-- Non removable pilots.
+++ Includes ground crews!
* Nice product, but at those prices, you can buy three 1:32 model kits.
Well, these are my views. If I left anything out, please feel free to break it down, I would like to hear some other opinions.
