Default Aircraft Scale Replicas

I am looking at getting scale replicas of aircraft I flew, both military and airline. Anyone have recommendations? I prefer to get them all to the same scale. Thanks.

There's usually an ad in the back of Flying magazine, about $350 as I recall. Can't vouch for the quality. I may have seen ads in AOPA and Air & Space mags as well.

I'd like to get one of my Mooney, but would like to hear someone else vouch for the quality first. I wonder if the scale model would be a b**ch to hot start as well.

What airplanes are they? I build plastic and collect diecast. I can get you a few links.

This is the company my squadron used, and I have bought some training aircraft from them as well. Excellent quality, detail, and you can customize them any way you want.

Guys,

Thanks for the help, I wouldn't mind spending $100 or so per plane if the quality is pretty good. Not sure how much they cost really than what is at the company store.
