Model kit question...

[ohbejuan]

This is not a work in progress post. I am curious about different model kits. I have tried a few major brands (Tamiya, Hasegawa, Academy, Airfix) and like them all. One thing I like about Airfix is that they always come with two things I like:
- Option for raised gear
- A pilot

The thing I do not like, as a yankee, is the RAF focus.

I am new to the hobby and usually work in 1/72 scale at the moment.

Are there other manufacturers that include pilots and raised gear options? I have not found it in 1/72 scale.

Not that I am aware of, but I know you can get pilot figures from other manufacturers. Might want to check scalehobbist.com

I think wheels up folks are kinda left out in the cold these days without buying aftermarket stuff.

Airfix can be forgiven for the RAF focus as they are, at their heart, a British company.
But I agree about the issues with not getting pilots or a gear up option

I'm a Revell fan, but I do build all manufacturers kits. I just prefer Revell, because I know it's going to go together the way I want it to.
