Thumbs down

I bought HE219 and Stuka. Dreadfull things, never again. By a process of elimination and much pondering and based on my first Dragon purchase (ME262 2seater) I think maybe Dragon is the best but I will await final judgement until the purchase of a few more Dragon models and the offerings from Hobby master. All my collection are Corgi and overall not bad (with the famous exception of the Mustangs Just in case the Skunky fellow is reading these posts).
Two schools of thought exist on IXOs, Aircrafty:

One believes they’re worth every penny, simply because IXO produces warbirds no other manufacturer will even consider making – for now, anyway.

The other school maintains quality trumps variety, and because too many IXO models are kinda “iffy”– if not downright rotten – they suggest you sink your money into quality models made by manufacturers like Hobby Master or Dragon, to name two.

Personally, I used to belong to the first school. Then I saw the light and switched to Hobby Master and Dragon; I’ve never regretted the move. But I did keep the Japanese planes.
