Re: Collect or Use and Display?
A little of both. Learned one thing though is keep the original boxes unless you plan on permanent display. Though I still cant get my Stuka apart to put back in it's box. It's so old I'm afraid it'll break, any tips? Also I lucked out when I got a friend deeply into 1:18 planes as he didn't want t...

Re: Area-21 news
Wow, it's good to finally hear the dirty details on 21st demise. It only takes one person to make such a consequential decision like that based on her likes and dislikes. (It makes one angry even after all these years) I still have most of my 1:18 planes. Finally bought the Midway SBD just last year...

Re: 21st Century 1/32 plane defects
If I remember correctly, "Miss Bonnie" was one of the last P-51D's they made, so they may have decided to finally add it.

Re: How does your collection grow?
I definitely passed on some good aircraft I wish I would have bought at really low prices. Recently paid just a little more than usual for a Merit Midway SBD that I was missing. Prices have jumped considerably since then. Maybe because of the upcoming Midway movie. There's a picture of an SBD on the...

My bad.
I seem to remember each alien having a different look with each plane that had one.
That one's got a red bathrobe.

Re: Flight 19 TBF Avenger--$2,200 + shipping.
It's been lowered to 50% off. Completed auction for this model highest is $299 plus ship. I usually see these as the Flight 19 leader, and not the others (how many 5 total?) with the alien crew member . Kinda funny twist they did. That's one I have. He's got an Eagleston P-47 at the same original pr...

Re: Merti at Comic Con 2019.
It would be nice to see them offer another 1:18 or other scale pre-built and painted aircraft. Would be nice but I wouldn't hold my breath. The most logical would be an A-8 Focke Wulf 190 as a follow up to the A-5 like the Hobby Boss kit. I agree. Thought the Graf scheme was a little over the top, ...

Re: No more 1/18 Planes?
Always thought 1:32 is the perfect scale for prebuilt large aircraft where the possibility of having a four engine bomber is not beyond the realm as 1:18 is. A relatively new thing now is you can buy model kits of four engine bombers as well as twins that are available in 1:32 is proof the scale is ...

Re: No more 1/18 Planes?
Weren't there 4 formerly 21st Century Toys P-51D's released not too long ago? One was American Beauty along with the three others. I do think some 1:18 like the FW-190 need to be run again, particularly since the Graf paint scheme was probably not as appealing as possible others. The Merit SBD is an...

It does have the newest box art that was offered on a few of the last Ultimate Soldier planes. Maybe that's what makes it rare? Still way over priced. I've seen at least one well known die cast dealer mark up a 1:48 Hobby Master WWII aircraft by 100% though just because they have the last one availa...

Re: How does your collection grow?
It's been a while since I bought anything 1:18. Most of what I have is from years ago when prices were a lot lower. 90% aircraft.
Still missing a few planes I don't have, but what I want will probably have to be traded for.
Need to make an inventory.

I was fortunate to get a Butch O'Hare and Joe Foss Wildcat when Carousel went under for 1/2 off. Years ago, I got a bunch of Carousels at a great price on a Buy It Now on ebay really late one night. I wasn't interested in the HM Wildcat until I read the Marion Carl history behind it an, so I'll pro...

Re: Hobby Master 1/48 F4F Wildcat
Except for the Pre-War or occasional Joe Foss version I have never seen any Carousel 1 Wildcats go below $100, especially the Butch O' Hare so this is welcome. I really would like his or other Coral Sea F4F going in. Though if the right Midway Wildcat like Thatch's comes along I'd get that too. This...

Already have the Bunker Hill Avenger so I'm good there. Always wanted a Midway Avenger though. The light blue looks a little more like a baby blue than the actual color used. Like to see a production model. Not likely they would re-tool this as a TBF-1 with the 30 cal cowling mounted gun, but other ...

Re: mustangs value
Hadn't looked at Hurry Home Honey for a while, thanks Tman. With the top surfaces in OD, but the sides and underneath natural silver it's an odd one. Sort of halfway between the BBI Old Crow (it is a nice one) and the 21st Century Toys Old Crow with just the cowling in OD. All three from the same 35...

For some reason, the "Cripes a Mighty" plane always seems to be harder to find and the pricier version of the two Badcat Exclusive BBI Mustangs, even though both had similar production numbers if I recall correctly. I have both (each acquired long after they were originally for sale) and personally...

Re: Easy Model Buffalos Arrive
Not much interest for me in the Finnish Buffalos. The PC insignias don't do them any favors with more work rounding up decals. I do like the dark camo one a little better though. The all silver version would be easier to make a code 3 of, particularly if you were making another US Navy version like ...

Noticed quite a few Chinese bidders/ winners of my 1:18 collection I had to sell back in April. Some bought multiple items.
