I just have a 1/18 Spitfire and the F-86 HUFF and the HUFF is definitely my favorite one so far. I am looking to pick up a NK MiG-15 (gotta hang it in front of the F-86) and am trying to decide on an F4U - just need to find more space.

I am also saving my pennies for an F-4!!!!

flyXwire,

I have Ridge Runner III and I have to say the except for the grey tires and bent prop blades its one of my favorite Mustangs in 1/18th I have. I fixed the prop by replacing it with one I scavenged from a freind of mines 51' in which he broke by accident. I also replaced the grey tires with the correct black ones. The paint apps have no flaws at all in fact I havent hearD a single thing being said about flawed paint schemes on Ridge Runner III. Mine was perfect thats one reason why its staying in my collection. Also who could turn down a Mustang that represents a proud FG like the 4th? They were part of the Eagle Squadron that flew in the Battle Of Britton and they were the squadron that had 1000+ plus kills in WW 2 and were led by the famous Col Don Blakesley, a man who I would have been proud to serv under anyday.

Ok I said enough but if you love the 4th FG you have to get Ridge Runner III flyXwire. Once you fix the prop and the grey tires its almost perfect. In fact in my book, and I will say this its better then the other 21st Century Mustang releases. But I am being a little biased to.
