US Fighters in 1/144 (RW)

[TomZ]

I'm working on a series of all US fighters in 1/144 (if I can find models of them all.....)

I have now finished the F-80 to F-118

You have some Migs mixed up in there unless you are counting ones supplied by defectors.

[Old Wombat]

They look very good - especially as they're in "ridiculously bloody small" scale!

The Migs were real world! The USAf tested a number of Soviet aircraft and gave them fighter designations.

Northrop xp-79, f-8 crusader, the Vought xf5u, cutlass and Douglas skyray don't make an appearance, I'm guessing it's because they're incredibly difficult to get hold of one would imagine  but fantastic fantastic work here, very well done, what make is the xf-103 by the way?

Brilliant collection Tom. 

[zenrat]

Wow!  That's quite a collection.  Well done.

F-103 is from Anigrand

I am now working on the post 1962 designations F-1 to F-35 which includes the F-8. The F5U, cutlass and skyray never had an USAF designation, only USN.

After that comes the the P-60 to P-79. I'm still missing some models there: P-64, P-66, P-77 and P-79.

Fantastic line up. I had no idea that many types were available in 1/144

[Hobbes]

Quite a few of those are Anigrand bonus kits, IIRC.

Correct. I think I should get a volume discount with Anigrand

I wish Anigrand would sell off their bonus 1/144 kits individually or package up more bonus sets- they have done a few package sets.  I would really like some of them- like the Sea Dart and Pogo, but I can not justify spending over a $100+ on the main large aircraft, when I just want one of the bonus kits.

I have a few times bought an ANigrand kit for the bonus kit and then sold the main kit minus bonus on Evilbay. You don't get the full price back but at least you can get some money making the bonus kits you really want less expensive.
