The cat would get excited when I flew mine around the lounge, diving for cover when she felt the downdraft then pouncing on it when I invariably crashed it. This went on for a few days and feeling proud of myself that I could hover the damn thing for more than 20-30 seconds I placed on a shelf in my studio.
In the morning I found it submerged in the cats water basin (missing the tail rotor) along with her fluffy mouse and two elastic bands.

It was either the Cat or another helicopter!

I kept the cat and gave up autorotations (crashing) behind the TV.

………..fun while it lasted

If I’m honest I have all three of these in my collection, plus some slightly larger scale stuff as well. If it looks good and I can warrant it, I’ll buy it. I like WWII aircraft so that is the basis of my collection however, Centry wings F14 1/72 is nice and recently acquired an Elite force 1/32 Phantom F4J (plastic) which now sitting in my studio. I think there is a lot of crap out there (all corgi Spitfires!)so you need to look before blindly buying your favourite aircraft. I don’t have time to build kits and haven’t made one for years (I’m pretty rubbish at them anyway). I know a brilliant kit maker and have badgered him for years to build me a 1/48 Tamiya Lancaster ( Dr Strangelove ) so would collect his aeroplanes too.

so to answer your question I like them all!
