Small Scale Military Headquarters

Man thats very nice! Too bad BBI wont re-paint their Corsairs in the markings of the famous VF-17 Corsairs. I would love to see markings for Hedrick and Blackburn or even Kepford. But again nice job.

Some people here have complained, and rightly so, about the gaps along the fusalge spine and the gap along the belly of the new 1/18th Hellcat. To fix that? Simple. Modelling putty will do the trick. Just take some putty and mix it up and run it along the spine and undercarriage of the Hellcat. Afte...

Hey guys I have seen on some web boards that 21st has released in 1/32nd scale the P-51B Berlin Express. I have checked my local Walmarts and TRU's and they dont have them. Has anyone seen them in their area yet? Being a diehard 357th nut I want one of these.

Hey Mike, Any chance if we will see David McCampbells Minsi III in the future? This is one Hellcat I hope we see next in 1/18th scale. To have a 1/18th replica of Dave MCampbells Minisi III would be a treasure to have. He was a true hero and a Medal Of Honor winner. The only Carrier Aviator to have...

Hey grunt I pm'd you buddy. The Spit is inbound. Sorry for it being late but my Grandfather passed away and it was hectic around here. But you should have the Spit by Tuesday. I sent it via USPS Priority Mail.

IMHO, I think detailed gun bays are a waste of time and money. I'd rather see better panel detailing and more attention to aircraft lines than interior detail that you will only see once in a blue moon if your airplane is hanging..... -Ski But what about for those that don't hang them. who like to ...

Paint problem's aside I will say this for 21st and thats that they have produced some very nice and well done aircraft such as the new tooled P-51D. Yes for some of you that cant believe I said that, I did! Avenger, ME 262 ect. 21st just has to shore up the QC paint problems for me.

I only pre-orderd 1 and I want the Coral Sea version which mine will be because of the decal option. I wonder to if we will ever see it.

I have to agree about Q/A issues as well. I know we get bad batches but lately all I have seen at my local Walmarts have been poor paint jobs on Old Crow and BBD. Like I said those may be bad batches but even when they are new shipments? That being said I would love to see detailed gun bays and remo...

Did someone say "Berlin Express"????? No way! Tell me that they have not released Berlin Express because if they have I MUST HAVE IT at any cost. Any pics of it that one of you guys can send me I would appreciate it. Damn, I mean darn excuse me!

Now that I have my 1/18th F6F I am gonna scale down to 1/48th and 1/32nd planes. That is until Admiral comes out with the SBD, which by the looks of it will be awhile. There is just nothing out there except maybe the Japanese Zero that catches my eye except in the 1/32 and 1/48 feilds where I have t...

The only thing about the 4th though I dont think they applied the Red Noses until they recieved the P-51D. I could be wrong on that. If they did apply the red nose to their B model Mustangs it was only around the ring of the nose. I will have to check on that.

I dont think its been discontinued. It just hit the shelves for gods sake! The guy probably didnt know what the hell was goin on and he probably didnt want to help you out. Typical. But no it hasnt been discontinued.

Well that Rufe project may become a reality. Not like I have anything on my plate already. http://apolo.koprivnice.org/galerie/hlavecek_jan/Rufe_a.JPG Out of all the GPXD'ers threatening to build one, maybe one will finish it now. Ah a Rufe float plane! The Hellcat squadrons sure had fun shooting t...

Hey Mike any idea on when the the BBI 1/32nd Dauntless will be avalible?

While your at it put a motor in it. I did on mine. Plenty of room to work in and you don't have to tear anything apart. Motor and battery fit right behind the engine and the on/off switch is under the left wing next to the fuselage. To change batteries drop the tank.open the door and the battery sh...

Hey Chunks congrats on your win. But a note to you buddy and thats that the 352nd didnt wear the VF B fuslage code. I believe those were worn by the 4th FG you may want to change that. Thats just a heads up. The guy did a great job though and again congrats on winning it.

Black Lion VF-213 wrote:Light/intermediate blue? Excellent! Thanks Mighty Mustang! I was hoping it wasn't going to be all black or red. I like the blue spinner look as my favorite then the polished spinner next. To me those color choices are the best.

Thanks

You bet buddy. Glad to help.

Spit has been traded.

Thanks guys.

I dont worry about 21st either. They are a good company who keeps the great product coming.

I like your ideas but I think we need and F-14 Tomcat in 1/18th.

Great news! Now finally I may be able to get one since I missed out on getting it the first time around.

I was painted light/intermediate blue buddy. I am gonna re-paint the spinner on mine as well. I was also gonna put some paint chipping on mine as well but I might think better of it. Havent decided as of yet.

Hey guys since my last trade offer didnt seem to go through I am putting my DWK Spitfire on the trading block again. What I would like to trade it for is a new tool 21st Century P-51D Old Crow or a 21st Century Petie The 2nd. My Spitfire is like brand new and has never been played or messed with. It...

Yeah, that was me that got it. My main concern is that in some of the photos, their appears to be an obvious colour difference between the original P-51 and the work he added. But in some photos it doesn't show up. At any rate, I figure that now BBI or someone else will release one to TRU for $30 a...
