Those are sharp, is that Chuck Yeager signing your X15?

As we have discussed before, I think the Corgi 1/32 aircraft were most impressive. I have three now, including one that cost me a wee bit more than retail since it has been retired for several years. I also have great hopes for the Hobby Master 1/32 line. I have been tempted by the Dauntless but (fortunately for my finances) the one I would have likely sold out before I learned about them and I don't like the aircraft enough to chase it above retail. The level of detail is extraordinary. Be sure to look at the more pictures as well.

I remain hopeful that they will expand the line and my resistance on the remaining releases of this one is getting weaker.

Was lurking around a couple of model shops today and was very impressed with the Hobbymaster Dauntless(saw 2/3 of the variants currently available in 1/32). They have only one model so far but I think the next one in pipeline is the FW190-A8. Very impressive detail and finish :cool:

Now that is interesting news, where did you get titbit per chance? If they do a 190, hopefully they will follow with a Mk 9 (and NOT a P-51D:rolleyes:)

Wasn't specifically looking for planes yesterday but spotted the hobbymaster in two shops, I was very impressed with it but was told this was the only 1/32 model so far. Did a search on the aircraft forums and found an announcment from hobbymaster about the next model but no pics yet. Fine level of detail in them and they look fanatstic:cool: The price was around $180. Might stretch the budget and get the next german model if its as good as the dauntless just released. In the meantime I contented myself with a considerably cheaper 21st Century ME262:)

While not cheap, that seems quite reasonable for the level of detail and the exposable and working parts. I am still not sure I am going to be able to resist the dauntless. Did you notice the alternative rear guns and the working storage as well as dive brakes, flaps, control surfaces canopies:eek:
To me, that makes them more desirable, not to mention more cost effective, than those in the thread that started this discussion. Each to his own but you can have 5 of these amazing models with working parts for each one of the others with no working parts.:)

It was impressive to look at, there were a few corgi planes set up in the shop and franklin mint ones as well but the hobbymaster model outshone them all. The different movable detail was very well done:cool::cool::cool:
