Small Scale Military Headquarters

every time I see Skyworks in a post I cringe because I KNOW it just starts up the whole slamfest again. Man, I hope this stops. Uh, oh! I've done the unforgiveable-I wrote the word "skywork" in my own post. Now I've done it.

That Stuka that is being offered for preorder by JSI is sure an odd choice. Wasn't that paint scheme produced near the end of 21st's reign? I still see them languishing in my local toys r us. The pappy corsair and the p-38 make sense because they haven't been around for quite a while but the stuka i...

I am a little confused as to why an anouncement MUST be made so very early in the process of creating a new plane. Why not wait until it is almost finished and ready to be preordered rather than risk losing credibility when it doesn't materialize yet again. Seems like there is much more to be lost b...

Sorry, I just can't get excited about Admiral's anouncements anymore. I now officially have an "I'll believe when I see it" attitude when it comes to Admiral. Admiral seems to have become like Lindsey Lohan going on a crack binge now and then just to keep her name in the news otherwise everyone woul...

I for one am extremely happy that JSI is out there and producing. I plan to buy gobs and gobs of their products. Those cheap prices 21st century charged obviously didn't do them much good and didn't engender any loyalty with the moaners. From the posts I have seen the ones who moan the most about JS...

I agree that manufacturers probably don't listen to boards like this much and probably that is wise of them. I was really surprised after all the crying about the death of 1/18 that when a new company like JSI pops up how many poeple stated that they won't buy the f-14 unless it is a certain paint s...

Don't lay off xd, just lay off e-bay. There are so many unscrupulous sellers I can't hardly bring myself to wade through all the crap to find a decent seller.

So basically he is saying, "I think you all morons and I am a liar. But, hey you can trust me." If he is clever, which he certainly doesn't appear to be, he will not get anywhere near this forum.

WOAH! The deal just went sour! The 3 most valuable planes crushed and yet he is not changing the price? Hmmm, what are the chances they will be magically healed and turn up on e-bay individually? Seems awfully coincidental to me. If I was a buyer I would ask for pictures of the demolished planes. If...

I ,for one, plan on throwing ridiculous amounts of money JSI's way. I would absolutely have to have a minimum of 3 f-14's to go along with the 3 f-18's I already have. Oh boy, oh boy. I can't wait!

...and Dragon, DID, etc.

notice that he has had 10 offers, though. Wonder if any of them have been over 20 bucks. Not one of the items is especially rare. Funny in a creepy way.

By the way, zimmerit was only applied for lless than one year of the 6 years of war. It was first started in 12/29/43 and then it was ordered to be stopped9/9/44. So only 9 months. Zimmerit wasn't nearly as common as folks think it was. There was a rumor that began to spread that zimmerit was making...

The family and I took a trip out to jolly old England. While the rest of the family was wandering through Cambridge I and my 6 year old son got on the bus to duxford for the British Imperial War Museum. 4 hangars stuffed to the hilt with aviation history and a 5th hangar full of tanks and artillery....

Personally, I will miss 21st terribly. I collect and build other scales as well and I agree that it is laughable to think that 21st could possibly offer a model with the degree of accuracy that SOME 1/18 collectors seem to demand for the pittance that SOME of them are willing to pay(notice I say som...

hmmm, would you mind sharing where you ordered the AH-6 from??

The fact that this miserable piece of crap had any interest at all just goes to show how desperate 1/18 collectors are for ANYTHING.

I'm keeping my 1/18 stuff mainly because I collect them only for enjoyment. If I collected them for profit I would be selling them like crazy. I think a lot of people got into the hobby when these were easily accessible from Walmart and TRU. That's how I got hooked when I bought a Stuka on a whim fr...

H/L just keeps churning these out. I have already passed to the dark side(1/16 scale) and have no regrets.

Been so long I can even let myself think that it may actually come out. I've given up but it would be fantastic if its true.

Anyone know what was up with Pegasus? They came out of nowhere and dropped that nifty V-1 on us and then disappeared. I thought the V-1 was such a great idea-a totally unexpected yet recognizable "aircraft" of sorts that was affordable, didn't take up much shelf space (even the most crowded 1/18 col...

I bought the Me-163. Haven't had any problems with it. However, mine took 12 weeks to arrive. Kind of kills the whole impulse buying thing when you have to wait 3 months from when you order to when you actually get it. Lots of time to second guess your decision. That was a while back, however. Perha...

Seems an odd choice to me. I will buy one just because I'm dying for something new in 1/18. Sadly, the generation which grew up with those planes are leaving us and interest in those items are disappearing with them. You can see it in the the classic car market (real cars, not toys). 15 years ago Mo...

Money well spent, sir! It will be worth many times what you paid both monetarily and in the amount of enjoyment it will bring.
