Re: Your top 3 diecast companies in your collection

I voted FM since my collection is about 98.5% FM.

Somehow I think I am about the only one who is fixed that much on FM/A.

*sigh*

The 3 brands the most represented in my collection are :

1) Corgi (36, all 1:72)

2) Dragon (29)

3) HM (10, 1:72 + 1:48)

Then GC and Witty (8 each), WAC 1:200 (7), Marushin (6), etc...

Re: Your top 3 diecast companies in your collection

Here's my category for my top 3 diecast companies.

1/72nd = 1) HobbyMaster 2) Dragon 3) Corgi --- for WWII warbirds
1) Century Wings 2) Gaincorp 3) Hobby Master --- for Modern Jets

1/48th = 1) Eagles International 2) Carousel 3) Marushin --- combination of both props and jets from FM added in there

1/32nd and 1/35th = 1) GMP 2) Corgi

I would not discount FOV in the 1/72nd category since their last 3 efforts Zero, Me-262 and P-40 are significant enough to merit and earn it's
place among my top three. We still need to see their latest offerings of the two 1/72nd bombers and a 1/32nd scale P-39, so.....

Re: Your top 3 diecast companies in your collection

A suggestion. Since you've get a mixture of scales involved which tends to slant the answers in various directions, why not level the playing field a bit by distinguishing between 1:72 and the larger scales?I know that my favorites change significantly when scale is a factor.

Re: Your top 3 diecast companies in your collection

In order, I LIKE Carousel (WW I aircraft), HobbyMaster, and Corgi. Problem is, it's hard to afford Carousel. I have mostly Corgi, but, in general I like HM's 1:72 scale better. Greatly looking forward to the Corgi WW I birds (in theory, this December.....)

Re: Your top 3 diecast companies in your collection

Can you clarify if this poll is about numbers, or quality? I'm not sure... Most responses seem to be about quality (but not all), but when you read the poll, one could think it's about numbers of models from each manufacturer.
