I grew up with Monogram and Revell but are there other companies out there that now make the best quality plastic model kits. I want to start building and painting new WWII aircraft models and need to know what company to look at for the best quality, detail and good decals. My old colection was lost in a fire 30 years ago and again want to get back into the hobby.

StockJunkie asked:


I’m looking for the model aircraft to be of high quality, made from resin or maghony. I would like a simple, but custom paint job on the aircraft. I need the aircraft to be delivered in 4 weeks.

The model I’m looking to purchase is a Challenger 300, 604 or 605, possibly even the Citation X.

Thanks for any recommendations and or advice!

Hello everyone,

I have a small project that I am working on, and I am trying to match the color to current US Air Force military aircraft. It’s some type of gray, but not sure which. Is there a common equivalent spray can that can be purchased at local stores or online? Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!
