I can't get excited about either the $9,500 models OR the $49.95 models. This is a "SIM" stuff. NOTHING yet beats the De Espona models. They have details and resolution that are incredible. But those Imagination Works folks also make some good stuff... Wait until I find the $3000 submarine and ship movie-models website- still looking for it. The weather was IDEAL for the "Pearl Harbor" premiere. Maybe when people see THAT, it will give them some ideas about what can really be done with 3D classic aircraft...
