AWFULL !!!!

Having purchased many IXOs and Atlas planes as well as one of the new Altaya 1:144 scale bombers ( the B-17G ), I agree with you on the Altaya biplanes. This is the worst of the promotional series, although I did manage after considerable sanding, bending, adding, painting, etc. to come up with a passable Curtiss Hawk III and a Japanese "Pete" sea plane. Since there is little chance of anyone else doing such planes in the foreseeable future, the effort was worthwhile. If you aren't into doing major repairs, however, the biplanes are definitely something to stay away from. On the other hand, the new Altaya bomber series looks promising, albeit still a bit risky for perfectionist minded collectors.
