Hobby Master is producing some really fine looking aircrafts lately.
Other companies better take note these guys are for real.

Yeah, would be good to see a little more credit /attention paid to aircraft that opperated in this part of the world.

My Hobby Master's have worked out around NZ$60 including shipping, which I consider to be good value when I look at the quality. I'll won't be buying all of their releases, but will get plenty all the same. Looking forward to an RNZAF Dauntless and Avenger coming out some time next year . At least, I'm hoping they're going to do those planes!

Count me in on those as well.About time we saw a few more RNZAF types.

So far I ahve bought all the releases that have been put out by HM. Having said that, I will pick and choose the ones I like... it just so happens that so far I have liked them all. Top notch stuff too. If they keep it up, Corgi is going to have a real competitor for the market.

So far I have them all. Awaiting the MIG-21 and do agree that the choice of markings is a bit odd...
F-104 will be a fine addition, though I do have the Matchbox NASA F-104 which is nice.
My favorites though have to be the "yellow wing" Dauntless and those dang Stukas! They are so nice

I am looking for the silver USAF F-104 and F-100 by Matchbox if anyone has an extra or suggestion on vendor please do PM me!

Woodman,
Keep your eyes on ebay i have seen 3 of them on there the last few weeks.
I just bought the camo F-100 for my son.

Unfortunately, my finances dictate picking and choosing. I'll probably stick to Pacific War stuff, and get a few copies of jets like the MiG-21. Hopefully HM will have the marketing nerve to turn out some WWII Japanese planes; I would buy one of each!!

I restrict my collection to mainly British or American built types. Having also seen most of the Russian-built types in the flesh in Russia, I also pick up samples of the ones that interest me. German aircraft have no place in my cabinets...I have to save space for the others!

I have the Midway Dauntless and will probably get the Coral Sea version too. When I lived in CA, I used to lunch with a chap who flew them during that action. They are excellent replicas and I don't think the detail is over done.

Working on it, it just takes some time.

And where's my signature? I can't get it to add on to my posts.
