Snap fit models (hogan, aeroclix, skymarks)

[TheEpicBirb]

I just got this new Hogan Wings 747-100 "City Of Everett" for 70 CAD, i think its quite a good price and I would like to also know others opinions on snapfit aircraft.

Idk how to type a proper post as its my first time posting on a forum but yeah!

Welcome aboard! You did a fine job with the post, no problems here. I think snap-fit models are fine; I’ve never gotten one myself but they do seem like a unique idea. Is it still heavy as if it were made with aluminum or is it plastic?

So glad you’re here! This is a really neat aircraft!

The aircraft is still quite heavy for being made out of plastic/resin
the quality is very good for the price as a hogan a319 in 1:200 can cost 30 CAD, the aircraft have many liveries and are affordable!

Just to get this thread running again, I've noticed a big jump in quality for these snapfit models recently. Skymarks has started releasing interactive models with opening cargo doors and hogan and limox wings have merged into one company.

here are some of the newest skymarks releases with cargo doors. they have large seam lines but still are pretty good for people who don't want to spend a lot on interactive.

Hm I never knew skymarks would follow up on this.

yup. the seamlines are big but they will likely improve! if hogan/limox ever started this they would have very good seamlines likely since the line between the wings and fuselage is little to nothing compared to skymarks.
