My opinion is purely subjective on this Timbo as I can't say for sure why I've become supportive of HM products  . Perhaps it's because they've truly tried to listen to collectors as well as provide an excellent product at a reasonable price, while being innovative to boot  .
The Lexington 'yellow wing' SBD-2 Dauntless for example has really grown on me and remains one of the few 1/72 models (like the silver Swordfish and some Dragons) that I have not packed away since moving my collecting focus to 1/48 and 1/32 scale aircraft.
(Also, as I mentioned in another post, my second batch of three Gemini Aces all had QC issues, with two of them suffering scratched/occluded canopies and the other one a painted shut wing flap  .) |
Well I took the plunge and ordered the midway SBD-2. Hope it's good
