Small Scale Military Headquarters

I can't say that I reget buying any of the planes/vehicles/figures, because for the most part, their the only 1:18 version of that certain plane/vehicle/figure. But if I had to pick which I didn't like, I would pick the P-40. It seems so toyish, especially after being released at about the same tim...

Eagle, I don't know about the 1/32 Tiger coming back, but the 1/18 Patton is a re-issue that's supposed to be in the works. I bought one long ago when Toys R Us had them.

IMOH 21st's Tiger, Hanomag and Halftrack (for armor anyways) put BBI's Sherman to shame. I'll wait and see if BBI "throws down the gauntlet" to 21st in armor like they did with the P51. Nobody would be happier if they did....

I just popped out the three screws that connect the bottom half to the top and then removed the round plastic piece that makes the gun go up and down. I intend to take a look in the near future about what I can do to 1. reduce if not eliminate the ridiculous "jump back" when you fire and 2. improve ...

Just don't sail without air cover.......

What I think would work is, instead of (or in addition to) having the "extra arms", having an extra "lower torso" for figures either sitting or kneeling. With a little articulation at the knees and ankles, they could be fit more places and just maybe I could pose some riding on the back of my tanks!...

Has anyone been able to do anything about the terrible engine sound, such as reprogram it? The gunfire sound is decent but the engine sound is pitiful. I removed the goofy up/down gun elevation piece and love the turret movement sound. It aint perfect, but I'm happy so far.

Found the OMG and S2 japanese today at the memorial pkwy Walmart in Huntsville, AL. Also decided to check the clearance aisle and found all of the 1:18 RC vehicles marked down to $22.00 (had to buy another at that price!) Thanks for the Heads Up CW4! A new RC Mark IV is now mine at a bargain baseme...

1. BBI P-51 Mustang (great details and, after all, it is a P-51) 2. 21st P-38 3. 21st Stuka 4. 21st Corsair 5. BBI Corsair 6. 21st FW-190 7. 21st Spitfire 8. 21st ME-109 9. 21st P-47 Bubbletop 10. 21st P-47 Razorback I haven't seen the BBI Zero yet but, from photos, I would probably rate it around 4...

YESSSS ! ....My long awaited B-17 "Flying Fortress" ....perhaps in the works now,... as we speak ! :shock: 8) If 21st has anyone with a working brain, they'll jump on doing a B-17 in 1:32 scale. You'd have people who haven't given the 1:32 line a second look lining up to get one that was well-made....

Check out my comparison photos of the bbi P-51 and the original 21st P-51 here: http://community.webshots.com/album/225288325hOldRN Not the best photos, but they should answer your questions! :D -Ski I hadn't seen that before Teamski, very nice job. And I also enjoyed seeing your similar comparison...

I have the P-40 and it is mediocre at best. Unless you get a steal of a deal, save your money for the other, much nicer, planes. Better yet, I'll pull mine off the fishing line hanging from the garage rafters and send it to you for $40 shipped (sorry, I don't keep my boxes).

Does anyone have a WM with Bubbletops discounted in their area? N. Alabama has yet to see one at all, any paint scheme would do...

Yes, a Skyhawk should fit nicely in one of their existing boxes. And once we get our foot in the door, we might actually get a Phantom.

Do a Hetzer and then you've already got the drive-train/hull bottom ready for a PZ-35. Are you listening 21st Century?

Yes, I've got a P-40 and, IMHO, it is the worst job 21st Century has done on any aircraft, and it should be redone. But I still want a lot of other things first; an A10, a Hellcat, the Avenger (still believe it when I see it in stores), etc., etc.

Someone stop me before I think about it too much and kill myself. Actually found a 104 at Super WM on South Pkwy in Huntsville.... and left it there. It was nice and it was tempting, but 1. I'm all about WW II and I've got to save my pennies for a Zero and Avenger and 2. I think I'd prefer the green...

Thanks Tinman! I'm going to order a couple FOV peices and see if I get hooked! :D CW4 (if you're not deployed somewhere else), if you're familiar with R/C Hobbies on Meridian St. in Huntsville they have a large collection of the "enthusiast" series (and a spanking new big building). They are high i...

Nothing on the web site about cost. Does anyone have any experience with these people as to quality and cost? I'm sure regardless it's beyond my budget.

I've racked my brain too trying to think of a way to put my T-72 in its natural state (burning and/or smoking), and nothing yet. The "train smoke" is mostly white and has a very acrid smell, I know because I own a Lionel Train set. If there was some easy way to have it emitting black steam, that wou...

They had some decent looking hedges in the Christmas section too. I'm also heading back after Christmas to see if I had score some deals.

1/9 Scale Abrams, 1/6 Humvees, and one Patton Jeep have shown up here. Finally got an upclose look at the Abrams and I'm not impressed.

Now that is an impressive job of repainting.

FOV sometimes likes to put a light coat of a tan (I think) weathering paint. My 1/32 King Tiger had that overly-faded look, so I very lightly rubbed over it with a cotton swab and thinner to get most of it off. Looks 100% better now.

They also made a Patton set with three U.S. soldiers. I found them at KB in the late 90's and was tempted, but the quality didn't impress me so I passed (to buy some Solido stuff, go figure).

Wal Mart, like any large multi-national corporation, doesn't have a good track record when it comes to listening to the little guy on the street - especially if its a bunch of grown men complaining about toys. While I agree that Wal Mart is certainly 21st Century Toys' prime contractor (and financi...
