Diecasts are nice but they don’t thrill me all that much as they never match the accuracy of (most) plastic kits. If they did, I would have stopped buying plastic a long time ago! The 144th scale models are particularly uninspiring as they’re basically solid lumps with no detail at all. Then again, some of the models are surprisingly good – look at that Jet Provost that appeared recently…
Those that can build, those that can’t (EG, me 😮 ) buy…. there is a huge amount of variation in quality and none of the satisfaction at all in building your own, but some of the price/quality has changed recently and while some of the RRP’s are high, some research and shopping around can find bargins.
My latest
my Duxford purchases (the B-25 is an old model but very nice)
The Provost was a “Skymax” model, they also make an excellent Tempest and this F9F.
I always go green when I see the quality of builds that some people can make (like the good Doctor here) I bought BSG Junior a 1/24th Airfix Mustang for his birthday, the plan being it will be a joint effort over a few months.
Other than that, it’s the diecast option for me still……:o
