Is this worth my money?
It looks better then HM, with all moving parts, but I have to say I've never heared of this company..

Sky Guardians are Witty Wings. No idea if that model is any good but i believe Witty is not as good as HM overall.

Yeah, sky guardians, my bad.
And ok I see, but is it worth $35, HM has prices at $50+ for models that only have (at the best) opening canopys..

well i've been perusing some HM stuff online and from what i've seen it is way overpriced. I was just looking at the Bf 110G nightfighter and thought it was very poor. Heavy detailing, overthick canopy framing, poor paint jobs. Not impressed at all.

I was always under the impression HM was top quality stuff but after the Ju 52 and the 110 i'm not very impressed with them. If they were cheaper they'd be fine.

Me personally, i don't buy HM, not only because of the outrageous prices, but like you said, way over detailed, there's a few of them at the museum that I was looking at, and they aren't for me..
