Re: Utube 21st century ME-262B at toyfair
The ME-262B is of 21c's best aircraft efforts, in my opinion. They combined a perfect ballance of functionality with detail, structural integrity and quality control. I never had any QC issues with my ME-262B, whereas I had to go through 3 ME-262As (which oddly enough uses much of the same tooling) to get a good one where something critical didn't break...
Other planes like the F-86, Mig-15, and even the old AH-1W are also on par with the ME-262B. I would so love to say the same for the 21c Avenger and indeed, after 2-3 years of development and anticipation it should have been, but that plane was almost more the case where 21c tried to put in too much detail, too little QC, effort, and attempted something too big for what they were capable of handling... But now I'm ranting
