Question Re: Choosing a 1/18th scale Aircraft Model Company

Thanks for answering so quickly! What I'm after are primarily (but not necessarily limiting myself to) jet fighters & attack acft - within that category, the F-86 Sabre series, the F-4 Phantom series, the ME-262 series, and, if they're ever made, the A-4 Skyhawk, FJ-Fury series, the A-7 Corsair II series, and finally, and certainly last but not least, the F-8 Crusader series of jet fighters.
I'm primarily concerned about the way the model parts fit & the aspect of "user-friendly" (ie, "confusing") instructions. Also, historically-accurate armament & underwing stores are important, as well. I gave up plastic models years ago as I really don't have the patience for spending "hundreds" of man-hours on a project simply to get a finished model that's "reasonably" acceptable. I don't want to have to spend a TON of time sanding, filing, filling-in, etc; just to get something "acceptable" - if that makes sense to you. I realize that there's "some" work that has to get done, of course. But I'm more concerned about the parts as they come from the factory & how they fit, etc; right off the bat - everything else being relative, of course. Any comments are welcome! Thanks, John
