Hi HM

Can you please make this plane? The fellow countrymen will love it.

Plnety of time for HM to do it since its focus is filling gaps ranging from the 30's to 80's. You might have better luck with Witty Wings though.

I don't know if there would be many fans of the J-10 since it barely has any history and hasn't been widely exported. I don't think it'd be a wise model to commit resources on.

Ebay store China-Legendmodel carries the J-10 in 1:48 (both single & double seaters) and also in 1:72. While their prices are "somewhat" high, my single experience with them was prompt and secure delivery. Some have said these were Gaincorp, tho I can't verify that. I got my 1:72 J-10 from the Toyhill_com Ebay store a little over a year ago. Toyhill "sort of" disappeared just as the Olympics started and their current diecast collection is minimal. China-Legendmodel carries other diecast Chinese aircraft and helicopters as well, including (currently) the SU-47 BerKut in 1:72 scale.

I'd love to see this one, but I have to agree with forcerecon85 and vifam7 that this would not be a wise choice for HM

OMG it's so expensive there on China-Legendmodel. I can find the same thing here only by 35 USD. But I don't like the mould and scale. I would be happier to see a J-10 from HM in 1/72nd.

Melilot: I'm confused....
Re the scale, the J-10 is available in 1:72;
re the mold, there was discussion about it in the Gaincorp form last year (while not considered excellent or superior, others seemed to be relatively satisfied);
re price, when I bought my copy, a little over a year ago, it was available from OMI for about the same price. Since then, the only places I could find it was Ebay from either Hong Kong or Chinese dealers.

However, one issue I ran into was the model's scale. Apparently, quite of few of the models shipped to US distributers were labeled 1:72 (the label was stuck over the original label on the box), but the model was actually the 1:48 scale item. I was able to get the correct scale model, but the box was totally in Chinese.
