High-quality assembled airplane models?

[streptile]

Hi guys,

I know exactly what my dad wants for his birthday present (he told me), but I am having a hard time finding them:

A high-quality, fully finished (ideally metal) model of a Spitfire MK9, and also a Focke Wulf 109.

Something to sit on his desk.

Can anyone steer me to a retailer who might sell these items? I've found plenty of model kits, and plenty of good RC planes, but I want neither of these.

Any particular scale in mind?

Hi Bern,

Thank you for your question.

Something in the neighborhood of a 12 - 24" wingspan would be ideal but I will look at any high-quality model.

Price is not really a big concern, only quality.

Are you looking for an FW 190 or a Bf/Me 109? Your first post has me a little confused. A buddy of mine has a rather extensive collection of Luftwaffe and RAF die cast metal planes in different scales. I've sent him an inquiry as to which are the best in quality, in his opinion.

Many thanks for your effort Bern

I am looking for a FW 190. I mistyped.

Thank you Jacques

I can't add much to what Jacques has already told you, except that you're probably looking for scales of 1/32 or more if you want 12" plus wingspans.

Bern
