I'm sensing a new addiction here -- as Black6 says, they're easier to "sneak in", plus they are just amazingly detailed for the scale. The prices are a bit nuts, but I've scored some great deals on the 'bay...

Challenging little buggers to photograph though! Will have to break out the tripod I think...

I really like modern fighters, but really don't have the room to display them in 1:72 or larger, as my WWII prop stuff is my "first addiction" and gets priority seating. These might be the solution...

Me like it. But the choice of paint schemes (Angola Air Force, for real?) is uninspiring so far.

Hay Pappy, how big (or small) are these size-wise?

Regards,

Sergey

Where can I find these 1/200 Herpa Su-27s? They're cool and will solve my space dilemma which has become totally and utterly unmanageable ...

I've got a growing collection as well.

The Gulliver F-14s are great as you can move the wings.

Herpa has also been releasing hangars, ground equip and operations personnel.

I think we will see some 1:200 tarmac soon.

Here they are at 1:200, 1:100, 1:72 and 1:48 scales

Funny, I think the Angola AF is the coolest so far -- I've five Su-27s so far, three Herpas and two WACs... I like the Herps better. The WACs are well made but look kinda "stretched" to me... as in a bit too long of body. They are 1:200 scale, so about three - four inches in length.

Some interesting upcoming schemes (more mainstream -- Russian liveries) have been announced but I haven't seen any pre-pros yet.

Daaaaaaayeeem...those are suweeeeeeeet looking Flankers! I hate you Pappy!!!

These models are trully amaizing and the details are incredible.
I'm using them to build an airshow diorama...
Herpa' s latest release is the F-104 (Luftwaffe & US Air Force markings)
The Panavia Tornado is next (Luftwaffe Tiger Meet scheme).
You guys should check out the other WAC (World Aircraft Collection) models...
Enjoy...

Looks like some of the new schemes are hitting ebay from HK and Aus... such as the Vietnamese AF Flanker
