How many molds are there?

AFAIK about 50 not counting variants of one airframe i.e. C-47 & DC-3 or F/A-18 & CF-18.

I just can't believe that FM thinks they're worth what they think they're worth these days....cuz dey ain't.

[conemaugh]

Thanks for reminding me...I still don't have the F-22. Like you I am waiting for something "better."

[Elmer]

Okay... just so you all ain't surprised... I have one. I sold / gave away the other two. No more, nada, zilcheroonie comin' my way unless some DRAMATIC improvements are made.

Aeroeng, I am impressed! I am interested in what you think of these 7 from your list, I have always been interested in them. You must have one massive storage area!

[PappyB]

I used to be in that 11-25 category but I've sold about half the collection off during the past year -- the move was the motivator... followed by the simple fact that some of the molds weren't aging all that well for my tastes. (I still do dig those Phantoms though -- have 5 of those.)

I said NO MORE, but then all these sales have cropped up and I found myself going for a couple more... than that's it!

(So Elmer, which ONE did you keep again?)

California Cutie. But I must confess, I thought the He111 was fine, just too big for my display space.
