Small Scale Military Headquarters

Yea I know The Super Hornet actually also has two seperate panels that pop up about where thewings meet the wing root. I just cannot find any pics of the JSF A model with any airbrakes deployed. Plenty of the vstol and carrier with that monster brake on bottom it almost looks like an afterthought. L...

I am presently working on a 1/18th scale f-35ish aircraft and I cannot find any good pics or info on the airbrakes for the CTOL version of the F-35
The STOVL and Carrier version has this giant ugly thing underneat and before the arresting hook. But no info on the Conventional Version.
Any Ideas?

Does anyone know if the FA/18 E/F engine be retrofitted to the Legacy Hornet?

Definately The Model Masters Laquer Metalizier Titanium

Model Masters has a line of paint called Laquer Metalizer it is a buffing metalizer. You use an airbrush to put it on then after it has dried you buff it with a soft cloth and it shines up to a mirror like finsh. They have several differant colors such as burnt metal, stainless steel, jet exhaust et...

I have used it with great results. Make your molds from thier mold rubber and cast with it. my only suggestion is to mix in small batches it sets up pretty quick. You can extend its setup time a little by cooling the 2 parts in the refridgerator. when the two parts mix it creates a chemical reaction...

I don't know if anyone else has done this but I put it on all my 1:18th aircraft that it is appropriate for.I find some good glow in the dark stickers that are plastic (not paper) and cut out the lights and apply to aircraft. Ive tried glow paint and fingernail polish but the stickers work the best....

I think you will find the best glue for styrene is a glue used for acrylic called Weld-On it comes in differant thickness and curing times I use #3
weight. It actually welds the styrene together. Great Stuff!

Actually One of the reasons they named it lighting 2 has to due not only because of the P-38 but also because of the English Electric Lighting.

Yes the front cockpit and nose is the GIjoe the rest is all scratch built. still have lots to do.

Well here is the beggining of my version of the JSF. I am going to make a better cockpit glass. also have to do work on the intakes. Still have alot of work to do but this is the start.http://news.webshots.com/photo/27886723 ... 1150hDZZkf

I found 4 Chinese camo migs and 6 Mitchs Squitch F-86s at the WalMart in Lilburn, Georgia.

I saw 24 Avengers in the snellville Walmart. I smell a possible mark down in the future?

Thats Unusual for BBI I had apilot who came apart at the waist I emailed them and called them and they shipped me one out No Charge. Keep trying. When you call them the main thing is to get someone who speaks english.

Ther are 20 some odd Atlantic scheme Avengers in the Wal-Mart in Snelville Ga. Outside Atlanta. Boy talk about extremes.First none now they are everywhere.

Has Anyone else have the problem of the 2 halves of the wings not meeting completely and haveing a large gap between them. It allows for the slat to fold up and also when the slat is in the back position the holes for the slat braces show?

I have a theory about the 21st century P-51. I have noticed that the FW-190 has all the same shabby characteristics as the P-51. But not all 21st are the same way. Take the Mig for instance its pretty Beefy not as beefy as the BBi F-18 but still Beefy. I think that when 21st has these made that ther...

Found Pak-40 Both of the new German Halftracks and the New American
Quad 50s Half track in a WM in Snellville, Ga. But don't bother going because now they are in my home.

Got my Badcat Avenger Today. Much Better all the screw holes are covered. You would be amazed at what a differance that makes.
I have 2 from walmart looks like I will have to take back one or sell it to any one interrested.

Its a good thing it was not the FW 190 or the P-51 the way those are buit it would of been a total write off

Well as Mike told you there were Migs at the walmart in marietta.Igot 2 he got1 and an unknown soul bought the other. Ay least we got them before the Ebay Rats got them!

Could this possibly be for the long awaited A-10 that I have predicted BBI will release?

I have Been to 4 differant WalMarts in North Atlanta almost daily and nothing yet. they dont really have anything except those nasty Black Bf109's Send Us MiGGGSSSS
