We used a plastic model for our Delta Dagger. Problem: my friend designer Cor tends to go for super detail, and a plastic model is very inviting... On my suggestion, he often makes the tiniest details optional. I prefer models to be 'buildable' for more than just the super modellers among us! The Fokker Friendship is a case in point. Movable flaps and rudders are nice, but very difficult. Personally, I hardly ever build a plane with landing gear down: I hang them from the ceiling, so the wheels down would look a bit silly anyway. Having said that, I did do the DC-3 Dakota with wheels - the dihedral wings and the angle caused by the tail wheel are so characteristic! Same for the Spitfire, of course! (Model by WMV).
