Default Which models do you prefer (any scale)?

Hi,

I was wondering which models all of you prefer, and why (price, detail, ...?).
Please let me know.

Thanks!

Matthias

PS: i put this in the 400 scale forum, however its from every scale but i did not know what forum would fit best.

AC, DW, BB, GJ and PHX because of their choice for obscure airliners!

Top is Aeroclassics followed by Gemini and Phoenix. I really like Dragon and Herpa too but that depends very much on the model which in the case of Herpa and DW I must see in person before I buy.

Any scale? This has to be one of the finest models available anywhere.

I like the Dragon models the most, because I think they are verry detailed and real.

Blue Box because they produce liveries that are wanted - not obscure specialist ones that are collected by about three individuals!

Subjecting model scale ranges in the same time. Way too many differences that give each a unique model by who ever. I really can't comment. Have many of these and that is it.

I only buy three brands but I voted for only two.

Voted for AC because I like their choice of airlines and the quality of the moulds and painting.

And I choose Dragon Wing cause some of their moulds are still the best in this hobby.

I also buy GJ but as their quality went down the hill last year have I bought less and less models from them.
