Small Scale Military Headquarters

Here are some pics of some projects I finished up over the summer. First is an 1/32 PTE F-22 Raptor. I rebuilt the front landing gear to be more accurate, added a 1/32 scale cockpit, hallowed out the air intakes, and added the missile bays with folding doors. Also gave it a badly needed paint job, D...

Look Great! Looking more like scale models than RCs. Get some scale pops and they could probably pass for real ones. Nice Work!

Great to hear that! Can't wait to see you start this one.

Wow! Amazing work! Can't wait to see it finished. I can't believe how fast you've been able to build this, I've spent years on my P-39 and it still doesn't look this good. You have one amazing talent Pickle.

Here's some pics of my fixed strut: http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk155/Superfortress04/IMG_1289.jpg http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk155/Superfortress04/IMG_1287.jpg All you have to do is find a brass tube with the same interior diameter as strut, than trim off about 1/3 off the width.

Possibly you can insert the broken struts .

Can you show pics ?

I have done this to mine and they have held up great. I can supply some pics of how to do it if needed.

Bucket list amendment. Huey D ( I already have the Cobra on the list B-29 ) :wink: Charlies Sdkfz 250 White Scout Car Patton's Scout Car I should put the Higgins landing craft on the list . But it would be towards the bottom. I was also thinking of doing the conning tower of a U-Boat . I think that...

No UH-1D Huey or Vietnam Cobra? We could really use more helos. As for me, my list includes the Bell 47, F-4 Phantom, CH-47 Chinook, and a MQ-1 Predator.

I would definitely be interested in at least one conversion kit, possibly more.

found a picture of it on the118th. Looks pretty cool and pretty much in scale. I can't identify it as a specifc design, just looks like a generic mini uav to me but i'm not very familiar with all of them. Would like to get it at some point. http://www.fighting118th.com/2011/08/02/big-lots-is-back/2...

Correct me if I am wrong B-29, but I believe they are customs by Pickel.

You are right, the gun mounts are by pickel, but I built the rocket pods.

They all look great, but my personal favorite would be the P-51. Nice Job!! Are those decals or stencils? Thanks! All of the number markings are stencils. The nose art/kill flags/signature are decals. Razor- Here are some detail pics of the gun mounts and 7 tube rocket pods. http://i279.photobucket...

looks great! One question, though -- weren't Yeager's planes named "Glamorous Glennis ?" Thanks, only Yeager's X-1 was named Glamorous Glennis. T His P-51s were Glamorous Glen I, II, and III. Airacobra- I will give an update on the P-39 soon, I have been working to redo the landing gear mechanism, ...

Thanks for the comments guys! Razor- I will post some close ups of the Huey tomorrow, Pickle- These are only the finished projects, I have plenty more still in progress, including a F-4, P-39, and Bell 47.

Here are several 1/18 repaints I have been working on: Corsair from Escort Carrier CVE-109 USS Cape Gloucester: http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk155/Superfortress04/DSC_0136-1.jpg http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk155/Superfortress04/DSC_0135-1.jpg http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk155/Sup...

Looking for the tail wheel doors off of a 21st P-51. If anyone has spares or has a parts bird we can work out a deal. Any help would be appreciated.

??? huh??

Coat them in fiberglass, makes them extremely smooth and gives it a more realistic appearance rather then the original foam.

How about the UH-1D Huey Slick? I know you where waiting on jsi to release another Huey, but it doesn't seem like it will be showing up anytime soon. A Vietnam era Cobra Gunship would also be an excellent project.

I need two sets of the missiles and mounts from the 1/18 F-104s for a new project. Also looking for 4 1/18 Aim-7s from either the 1/18 F-14 or F-16. Will trade or pay a reasonable price.

I need the tailwheel doors for a P-51 and any helicopter parts if they are in there.

PM me if the F-4 is still available.

Thanks,

Michael

Still avialable. Last chance before eBay..

Still looking.
