The B-2 bomber looks decent and so does the F/A-18. Has anybody come across these diecasts in person?

FlyXwire, define "decent"...

I usually agree with just about everything you say/write, but here I have to part ways. These look very toy-like to me (particularly the F-18).

Well, Iet me just say that sometimes I have a bad habbit of accentuating things based on first impressions (maybe because I'm looking for some sort of validation based on the pictures I see with no other information available right before my eyes)...then reality hits me when someone else, like you, points out that he doesn't see it quite like the way I do.

Having said that, I do see it now that you're right about these diecasts being toy-like in appearance, but the 1:144 B-2 seems okay though thru my Mk1 pair of eyeballs!

Well.....I don't have these flyX.
But they do seem to look toyish..
I have a B-2 from my daughter last year...It looks ok.

Is that B-2 plastic or diecast? I have that similar model by New Ray, as well as the YF-23 photo you have posted on the other thread. I might end up getting the diecast B-2 even though it's looking a bit toyish...but hey I guess whatever floats your boat is fine too!

Tisk and the little pilot figures are so cute, and the top comes of the plane so you can see inside.

They both look pretty toy like to me. Check out some of the others he is offering- I'm sure the quality is pretty much the same, less than what you'd get from a Witty or IXO.
