Snap-fit models vs metal die cast models

I have both pros and cons about die cast and snap-fit models.
While metal die cast models are usually smaller and more expensive, the metal they are made out of are closer to that of actual planes, hence they're generally more realistic compared to snap-fit models.

Snap-fit models are made of plastic so they look slightly less realistic than die cast ones- but that usually depends on the brand. I'm not such a great fan of snap-fit model makers like Skymarks except for some of their Airbus 380s and Boeing 777-300ERs and 200LRs which have rotating turbo-fans.

My personal favorites are Hogan wings which are highly detailed snap-fit model makers and extremely cheap for their type. My advice to collectors is to buy models according to their own interests.
If they're willing to spend more and buy models that take up less space, then I recommend die-cast in 1:400 scale.

These planes are easy to carry around provided you save their packaging boxes and carry them around packed the way you first bought them.

Hogan wings is my best recommendation to those wanting larger and more detailed models and have more space to keep them.
