| Franklin Mint Quality? I am new to this site, and modeling. Because of my eyesight failure, I am unable to assemble any models. But, I would like to acquire some WWII aircraft and modern jets; and was wondering about the quality of already assembled models such as Franklin Mint? Are there other companies supplying pre-assembled models. What are the top three contenders? I am open for any suggestions and opinions. I would like to stay the scale of 1:48...Thanks for any/all assistance! |

| I have alot of the Franklin Mint aircraft.... I have that same Spitfire as PbFoot as well as a F-86, P-47, P-40, F-117, and F-16... If you want any pictures just let me know, but they are very good, alot of detail and care goes into them, even though my P-40 has a defective landing gear |
