1/144 USA JETS by DARON !?
======================
A new range of modern military jets + stand...
The site says Die-Cast... this used to mean metal in the old day, some companies are useing this in the context of plastic which i think is misleading?

Hmmm?
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to the next in the series titled; 'UNwinged fighters'!!
I can't think of any fighters that didn't have wings.
?? UN Winged, or UNwinged?
ReplyDeletewhich bit of the site did i miss?
I picked up one of the F-16s out of cuiosity, and mainly because there really is no accuate F-16 kit out there. F-Toys had a decent F-16, but it's a Block-15 and that's just not as attractive as the Block-30 or 50 to me. It also requires heavy paint stripping and a lot of putty to fill the gaps, to make into a real model. But I digress.
ReplyDeleteDaron's F-16 is actually very nice. It's all metal with what appears to be styrene/plastic missiles and external tanks, but it has very nice surface detail with lots of panel lines and even rivets! It also appears to be very accurate in detail, overall shape, and a very nice canopy, unlike the awful Revell and DML kits. The paintjob is no where near what Roberto or Fumi are capable of, but it's passable.
So, I recommend the F-16, but only at discount prices. It's just not an $18 plane. Still, it's a bargain compared to the recent Century Wings and the Strike Fighter releases.
As for "winged" vs. "unwinged", I suppose attack helicopters would be the "un"-winged take on the whole fighter theme.
I am very pleased with the whole collection, they are just each of them superior to any other similar
ReplyDeletemodels from other manufacturers. Mainly made of metal including details like wing tanks, engine nozzles, nose probes, full undercarriage which remains, however, the finest I ever saw in this scale, they are all fited with
opening cockpit, and in the case of
F15, retractable air brake. Moulding is crisp, and their paint
job, top notch. I am now waiting
for some other versions to be released this summer, and just hope DARON will produce other models of same quality. Thank's to
them.
