 Re: Has anyone purchased the IXO ME-262?
No to your question regarding the ME-262. I've got a Corgi and one iis enough for now. However, I did receive two IXO releases yesterday: a Heinkel He 219A-O (Uhu) and the Dornier Do 335A-1 (Pfeil). Both are well done, but the Pfeil is really terrific. Both of the planes are on display at the Udvar-Hazy [Smithstonian] center, and these two IXO issues truly do the real aircraft justice. I've purchased a number of IXO releases recently and with the exception of the YAK-3, I've been pretty satisfied with their products. Yes, they could use some help on fit, especially landing gear, and general mold quality, but on the whole IXO offers good value for the money. The YAK-3 is the exception to the rule. How the QC boys at IXO let this poor issue reach the marketplace is a mystery. A bigger mystery is why the wholesalers, distributors and retailers flog ths dog. Either don't sell them or advise the buyer in advance of the problem. Yeah, I know, dream on. |
