Badcat Aviation has recently added what appears to be nearly the entire Italeri/GE Fabbri line up the only aircraft missing seems to be the F-8, F-86, AH-1 & Mi-24 Hind.

Most of the planes are re-paints from the originals, although the F-4J kept the VF-96 “fighting falcons” scheme.

I have the silver IAF Mirage III and love it, it goes perfectly with my Witty Silver IAF Spitfire. I would much rather have these than the older Armour Mirages, they are much cheaper, have equitable molds and a much better display stand.

These planes are 1/100 and compliment 1/72 planes perfectly allowing for diversity while not eating up all your display space.

I am really glad to see three of the planes are in Israeli Air Force colors.

I've seen these at my LHS. I always wondered who manufactured them.

Looks like they're missing the F9F Panther, too.

Good catch Rush, the Tempest is also missing from the Badcat line up.

Thanks for the earlier post alerting us to these, rdenham! I may be placing an order here soon.

I'm going to order the Italeri F9F in order to see how it compares to the Armour C.D.C. issues in the same scale. Considering the scale, Armour does good work. I'd like to see another manufacturer join in the fray. Sure as hell saves on shelf space.
