My youngest son is a plane nut and loves all...

I'll work on getting some pics up. I need to pull it out of storage so give me a day. It is a cool 70s era scheme. No decals. All paint masks. She's a fine bird

Feelers on selling Black Aces F-14

Morning fellow 1:18ers I am squeezed for room at my new place and wouldn't mind a little extra cash in my pocket to boot. I am kicking around the idea of offering up my Custom painted Black Aces F-14A Tomcat for those who might be interested. I haven't decided on what I might like to charge but cons...

There were not very many of them as they were the left over extras that Roy Sutherland would use to complete a contest TT. So the markings that are there are Tampo pad print from china.

Re: New BBi

As I look at the new trend in action figure based toy lines I see a very worrisome future. The new toys, Vehicles in particular are smaller, more cheaply made, have less and less features, and become overall less detailed and "chubby or kiddie like" in overall appearance. I call this the McDonalds h...

Re: Found a RAAF F-18 (but also need some advice)

It's a pretty rare paint scheme. 166.00 US is a steal. Let me know if you don't want it! I would like to add one to my collection for that price.

I LOVE my Ho229. Matthew delivered mine as a ready to paint version as I was excited to paint my own scheme. I have everything done except the final markings. I need to just get it done and snap some pictures of it.

Re: 1/18 aircraft Details

Not really. There are a small handful of things that are offered by others who scratch build.
1. F-14, F-18, F-16, Cobra, Blackhawk, Huey, Apache: remove before flight covers.
2. F-14, F-18 engine exhaust replacements

that is about it.
