Boss Hogg....don't forget that Airfix, out of England, manufactured 1/24scale, too. In fact, they are still available from Squadron mail order in Texas. Yes indeed, until 1/18 offerings came out, the 1/24 were truly a dream kit to have. Your kit selection is really NICE.

Airfix produced aircraft that I know of in 1/24 scale. MPC also built these aircraft under liscense from Airfix.

1. Mustang P-51D
2. ME-109
3. Spitfire
4. Hurricane
5. Ju-87 Stuka
6. FW-190
7. Harrier AV-8A

I have a Harrier still sitting in my closet I'll build someday.

I came across this website after I saw a model in the Historic Aviation catalog and googled the manufacturer. Pretty nice airplanes, it seems.

Yeah, Merit carries a pretty wide range of military toys and models--they also have a massive 1/35 Dora Railway gun model. They also happen to be "the" authorized distributor for bbi here in the US (I think TRU deals direct with bbi China). So far as I know, they don't sell direct, but work as an importer and resell to dealers. However, they do have a dealer locator form on their website (which of course yields no result for my AO, go figure).

I just saw an Airfix 1/24 Stuka at our "local" hobby shop--I was kind of surprised to see the box up there on the shelf! The moment I saw it, I thought of you guys!

Good scope-out...do you recall what they were asking for the Stuka? No matter what, I will gladly accumulate 1/18th!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for thinking of us,

I'm curious about this:

"Merit ... also have a massive 1/35 Dora Railway gun model.

I didn't see this on the website you linked.
