Like everyone else I love the Hobby Master planes. However, am I the only one that finds their stands a bit too lite or maybe less stable than the corgi ones?

I hate to be contrary, but I like their stands

When I open my curio door the plane wobbles, only the hobby master plane wobbles.

I've got a couple of Hobby Master's on stands and they have proved very stable thus far. I prefer their stands to Corgi's 1:72 stands of Dragons. (I'll admit I haven't seen any of the jets thus far so I can't speak for any changes Hobby Master may have instituted.)

I fully agree with Fileasfog on this. The HM stands are (in my opinion) only marginally better than the version/s from Dragon and are feeble in the extreme - Corgi still rules on this aspect (at least until the GeminiAces aircraft & stands are released) .

I think that it's sad when a truly great product like the Dauntless has to be let down by the 'unfinished touch' of the stand. Surely a high quality stand could be included at a limited extra cost - just imagine if a steel stand was included like those available for purchase from GeminiJets!

Hobby Master is reinforcing their stands to get rid of that wobble and they will start to show up in the near future models.

Great news!
Wow! This guy is connected!
Thanks again!

I really dislike the Corgi cradle type stands. They look ugly. The curved ali type are excellent and display the models really well. I agree that HM needs to make a better quality stand. The HM product is superb, what a shame to spoil it with cheap looking stand.: another reason why I like the curved ali coloured stand from Corgi is that I can rotate the models on their stand thus getting more models in a small space, After a tip off from some of you kind gentleman I went to IKEA and found a super display case. It now holds 30 of the little devils. ( i am sure they breed during the night). Space counts a lot when the collections grow so fast!!(

Maybe silly, but I'd like to see someone come out with a set of really nice, high quality stands, with a universal adapter kit.

These are pretty cool but they are for wood models.
