Daron Worldwide Trading B-2 Spirit Vehicle (1:280 Scale) Review:


Despite being smaller than anticipated, the plane has some decent weight to it. But my father didn't really care; all he wanted was a plane on his desk. The frame is made of cheap plastic and has a matte metal feel; it is nothing spectacular. Not the quality, but the aesthetics and love of the plane would make you buy it. I'd suggest it as a gift; it's ideal for a desk.



Daron Worldwide Trading SR-71 Blackbird Vehicle (1:200 Scale) Review:


I purchase a lot of little airplane models, and they all share the same major flaw—they portray an aircraft suited for flight with fixed landing gear in the most ridiculous way. However, this firm is the first diecast model maker of any form of aircraft I have encountered where this is not a problem and they have their aircraft as if they were in their natural home of thousands of feet in the sky traveling at greater than the speed of sound. As soon as I finish writing this, I'll go out and get more of their models.P.S. If the manufacturer of this product reads this review, please know that I owe you for saving me from having to spend an hour taking the landing gear off of a matchbox plane, and I'll be buying all of your models going forward because you're awesome!



Smithsonian Museum Replica Series - P-40 Warhawk - 1:48 Scale Review:


Even though I knew the specifications when I placed the order, I was nonetheless impressed to receive the model and see how well-done the size and details were. Choosing whether to keep it on its desk stand or hang it from the ceiling in my den is something I'm looking forward to. Maybe I'll just switch back and forth between the two as my moods shift over time.



Smithsonian Museum Replica Series - P-38 Lightning - 1:60 Scale Review:

Greenlight 1:24 Hollywood - The A-Team - 1983 GMC Vandura,colors may vary Review:


Although the item description did state that "colors may vary," I can only find the A-Team van trim in red.Red airfoil trim on the roof, red wheels, and a red "swoosh." All of the trim on the one we received is green. The 5-year-old and his 2-year-old sibling share this van, and they happily pass it back and forth. Nevertheless, my kids are content. When a plan works out, I love it!



New Ray Sky Pilot UH-60 Black Hawk Diecast Helicopter Replica 1:60 Scale Review:


As a former HH-60M pilot, I can attest to the general accuracy of this model. decent build, but keep it away from children under the age of 4. Once he did, it was broken in a matter of minutes.I hope I could track down a manufacturer of an HH model for MEDEVAC units. That would be much more in line with my preferences.
