PythonOne Posted April 7, 2007 Posted April 7, 2007 My desktop is looking kinda empty and i wanted to fill it up with some model airplanes. Does anyone have an suggestions on a particular brand. Personally i like fully built metal aircraft, so i don't have to put in hours and hours to make a crappy plane since my skills suck. Also, i wanted to buy small, yet realistic, model airplanes like 1:100 ratio, but i can't find some of my favorite aircraft like Su-27, F-22...etc. Excuse my childish questions.

I'm keen to get a Tomcat next...maybe a few of them! 3Sqn - Largest distributor of Flanker, Fulcrum and Frogfoot parts in the Black Sea Region

Pilotasso Posted April 7, 2007 Posted April 7, 2007 I would make 1:48 if it wasnt the small space I already have for 1:72 ones. .
Arthonon Posted April 7, 2007 Posted April 7, 2007 How about 1:32? Here's a link. http://www.squadron.com/ItemDetails.asp?item=TR32224 Don't let the country of manufacture scare you either. I am currently building their 1:32 A-10A, and the quality and detail is excellent. The only thing that sucks on it is the cockpit, but Verlinden Productions makes some really good ones. Verlinden's cockpit is excellent, but the seat sucks. The kit seat is MUCH better, but if you want THE most accurate seats, have a look at Legend Productions, a Korean company. The detail is absolutely amazing. It's not the country or manufacturer that scares me, it's the price! :) I've heard good stuff about Trumpeter, though.
Aeroscout Posted April 7, 2007 Posted April 7, 2007 Well worth it, Arth. Its every bit as good as the Tamiya stuff, which costs the same. I think I paid about $120.00 for my A-10A. Some day I might actually continue building it too. :) i know what you mean. you mean to finish something, but you never get arround to it... Hapens to me too... :music_whistling: DCS Wishlist: 1) FIX THE DAMN RIVERS!!! 2) Spherical or cylindrical panorama view projection. 3) Enhanced input options (action upon button release, etc). 4) Aircraft flight parameter dump upon exit (stick posn, attitude, rates, accel, control volume, control-surface positions, SAS bias, etc). 5) ADS-33 maneuver courses as static objects. 6) Exposed API or exports of trim position and stick force for custom controllers. 7) Select auto multiple audio devices

PythonOne Posted April 7, 2007 Author Posted April 7, 2007 so what is the best metal Su-27 you guys came up with. I think the closest i found was gaincorp but it looks more like a toy that a real scaled su-27. Any opinions?
