Re: Luftwaffe models ?
Hobby Master has some very fine Luftwaffe models at reasonable prices in 1/72.

Re: Luftwaffe models ?
Stay away from Dragon or IXO...their models are ok, but the Luftwaffe planes are missing their swastikas, and that takes away from their authenticity, IMO.

Re: Luftwaffe models ?
Even some of the early Hobby Master Stukas were missing the Swaztika's. And I've seen some brands that don't show it in the sample photos but it does end up on the production model. Go figure... but beware of the missing Swaztikas - a no sell for me!

Re: Luftwaffe models ?
Try Corgi...
 Their Stukas are very nice and come in many different luftwaffe markings + engine cowling comes off with great engine detail... Pretty good Me-109. It comes with landing gear up/down + engine cowling comes off with nice engine detail... Their Fw-190 are nice too...gear up/down as well... Their Me262 is their best...gear up/down as well... Also their Heinkel He-111 is superbly done with lots of details and working features... The Junkers JU-188 is the same...very nice and detailed...
