Re: A-7 Sidewinders Question

I dunno... it's a close call for me as I've always wanted an A-7 as I've just always thought it was extremely cool -- the tomcats are great, but we have other tomcats so they're not as exciting to me. Plus, given some of the issues I've had with mine, I think they are slightly over-rated. But, that said, accuracy is not the #1 factor for me in a model, if it was, I'd probably put the CW Tomcat at the head of the class based on what all the experts say about it.

(Regardless, I do think CW is really pushing the limits with price... $55 for the A-6 feels like too much to me. Don't think I'll be getting many of 'em. One, in fact, may be enough )

I really like my CW aircraft and have said as much on this forum. However, I have to concur with you insofar that I'm also leaning towards the opinion that these diecast are perhaps a little overrated/'overhyped' - I've been lucky so far with the few I've got, but it's clear that other forum members have experienced QC issues that, for the price these models cost, are unacceptable ...
