Do you prefer that your 1:600 modern aircraft come with a suitable load of ordnance molded-on, or do you prefer the models come without ordnance (with ordnance models available separately, so you can customize your aircraft)? * mold it on * leave them off * no opinion |

I prefer them off, but have both and don't really mind. |

For me either way really. I have no preference and have both. Robert My 1/600 scale aircraft Wargaming Yahoo Group link |

Depends. I find the centerline ordnance/drop tanks get in the way of putting magnets on them, so don't like those. I do tend to favor at least I/R missiles on the wings/wing tips for most aircraft that should have them. |

Guess I prefer it off. Many of the modern types are fighter bombers. It bothers me when my fighters are in a dogfight and there are bombs hanging off them. For some reason I am less bothered by planes making bombing runs with no visible ordnance. |

At least wingtip AAMs for those birds that would normally have them. No belly tanks. I'm not sure about underwing stores, but would probably want them as an option. Not cast as part of the model, but an extra to add if I want it. Some aircraft just don't look right with lots of underwing stores (F111s should only have 2 pylons, and F8, F14/15 should be light). Other birds don't look right without them (like A1, A4, A6, A7, AV8, A10, and B52s). And some birds you need both with and without (F4, F16, F18). |

I prefer them clean also, though some ordnance does seem to be needed, like Mako says. |

Centerline tanks are a pain. You have to carve around them for magnets. But overall, I prefer the option of having a choice. Some of the TD planes come in loaded and unloaded variants. If push comes to shove, I say clean. |

Off for all the reasons listed. I suppose I am not bothered by fighters on bomb runs clean as they are usually viewed from the top. I have both though. |
