I think these are fantastic, so much so that I sold my Corgi Aviation Archive all metal one (which I really liked!). Really nice job!

Tom , which one did you buy?? Do you like the weathering^&confuse...It looks like scratches in the paint???.....The stukas and the osfront have a much more uniform paint.....Too much weathering for my liking ....I will try to post some photos.

I did the ETA 050 - Jericho. I like it, excellent model and I like the weathering as it displays well (IMO). Just nice to have one in true detail> I liked my corgi, but always thought a little plain jane.

The Landing Gear on this plane is rock solid...very well done Figarti overall a good model...But the paint job on the ETA-051 Banff version is NOT AS DEPICTED in the pre sale photos.....The actual paint job is significantly darker....The attempted weathering is disappointing. When weathering is not done properly it is best to just do a clean model. The weathering on the top aspect of the wings seems to appear simply as scratches with paint loss....Not good....... The yellow nose cones of the 2 propellers have black streaks....very unrealistic IMO....Again not as depicted in the pre-sale photos. It would be best to produce at least close to what is shown in pre-sale photos...Rick with all due respect, none of us like these surprises.

I will try to do so either tonite or in the next few days...I'm sure that other customers who purchased the ETA-051 will concur with my review....It does not look like the pre-sale photos...that's just the facts.

If you you could post some photos it would be great Frank as I'm in two minds about buying one at the moment

I will try my best, I'm not great at posting photos. But if you choose to buy the ETA-051 Banff Strike wing version.... be advised.....Its Not like the photos.....Not a bad model except for the things I mentioned.

Just been on the phone to my mate and he got the same version as you and really like it

I think this was discussed when the aircraft were shown as it did not look very good then. A mate of mine has sent me pics of his and it is not as good as it should have been. The Jericho version was far better IMO. Not sure why they choose to weather it in that manner?
