Favorite Plane Model?

Following the tank model thread....what is your favorite 1/18th scale plane currently available?

Mine would be the German ME 109 Spinach camo.

This is a tough call...

I want so badly to say the 21c Avenger, but when it comes down to it, I really like my BBI "Marines Dream" Corsair. The 21c F-86 and Mig-15 also top my list.

The Yellow-nose Stuka has been at the top of my list for awhile. It's paint scheme from top to bottom is truly superb, and fully helped along by its size.

FWIW, I believe that my all-time favorite WWII aircraft, a FW-190A will knock it off it's pedestal - IF ever produced.

Thanks!

Well, I guess for me it´s still the the German ME 109 Winter camo. But those australian Mustangs from bbi are close!

The Stuka for me. It looks so menacing.

F/A-18 Hornet. I am in love...

BBI UH-60 Blackhawk and 21st Huey!

Wow this is a tough one for sure. I would say that I have 3 favorites and they are:

1-BBI F6F Hellcat Gadget.
2-BBI Marines Dream FG-1D Corsair.
3-21st Century's Old Crow.

Its a close race between those 3.

"Currently available" is a little bit of a misnomer for the spinach camo, winter 109 and most of the 1/18 universe, unless you are lucky on Ebay.

My favorite would have to be the P-38 Haleakula.

1. P-38 Haleanka
2. Ki-61 Tony if I ever finish it.
3. B-25 if it is ever built
4. Dauntles if it ever gets built
5.Me -163 if it everal gets built. Wasn't Admiral going to.....

If we are choosing from the list of "General Release" where everybody can get one (at one time or another)....I have to go with both the 21C and Admiral F-86. They both are well made, easily adapted to other versions and markings (anybody for a Pakistani fighter?) and they just beg you to look at'em.
But if we are choosing from "Wish List" planes....the one I don't think I've ever seen mentioned is what I think is the sexiest aircraft manufactured and used in front-line service to date. No matter how you look at it...on the ground or in the air (you better look fast)...I would DIE for a 1/18th scale B-58 Hustler (even the name is sexy!!!). Big, bold, in-your-face FAST....and for a female engendered object, that ain't bad at all!!!

I forgot all about BBI's F16, Thats one awesome bird.

FieroDude · Post by **FieroDude** » Mon Nov 26, 2007 5:37 pm

As much F/A-18 and F-16, the two birds that always put a smile on my face are my Haleakala II P-38 and bbi Marine's Dream Corsair.

Geez that is a tough question...
So far I have been most impressed with 21Cs F-86 "The Huff" and BBIs Mustangs. I would say Hellcat also except I still have my catmouth on Pre-Order.

vmf214 · Post by **vmf214** » Mon Nov 26, 2007 8:00 pm

Currently available, both Corsairs, 21st and Bbi. Overall, have to be the spinach 109 and Graf 109.

DocTodd · Post by **DocTodd** » Mon Nov 26, 2007 8:29 pm

Spitfire and F-86 are tops on my list.

I still think the Starfighter is the cat's PJs. Fit and finish on my Marineflieger is just too nice.

VMF115 · Post by **VMF115** » Mon Nov 26, 2007 10:14 pm

The F-4 and the mig 21...

Mig-29
F-15
F-86

A-10
Mi-25

If you like one that I have not listed more then likey I will like it as long as it's not an observer type aircraft.
