Small Scale Military Headquarters

I found two versions of the Johnny Lightning Greatest Generation 1/18 Jeeps at Meijers in Normal, Illinois. They had a Military Police and a Navy version, $29.99 each. I did not pick any up but they looked good.

Ebay has them, perfect sizes for boxed planes.

If I were to ship a package to someone in town it would go to a sorting facility 45 miles away and then back. Used to be a sorting facility in but they closed it to centralize!

Ray

I have one. As I recall it was in one of the packages you bought for their convention.

RMOORE456: Thanks for the tip. I once tried to cut the tip off of a straight pin to use as a replacement pitot for a 1/72 F-14. But the pin only left a dent in the blade of the cutting tool. I didn't realize pins were that strong. Maybe I'll try it again if I can find something with a stronger blad...

TMANTHEGREAT: Any suggestions on the metal pins you used for your Avenger? My Avenger stabilizer is a clean break with both tabs stuck in the fuselage. I have used common sewing pins. Just cut the head off to the desired length. I leave the pointed end on, that helps to insert in hole. Glue with su...

Ok, I had that one.

I would say that is a poorly done repaint. At least 4 of the planes shown are repaints: The Red Fw190A The Chinese Zero The White SkyCapt P-40 (1/18)? The British Tbolt (3) are 1/18 scale (2) P-40's and a P-51D What is interesting is the 5-Star P-47 Tbolt. I have never seen that one and is quite po...

I have kept the boxes for my 1/72 planes. For my 1/72 armor I have some still in the box, most are loose but I have the plastic display boxes. If I decide to sell I wonder if it is worth the trouble of matching the box with the tank and putting it back together. I recently sold all my 1/18th and jus...

Here is a link to some photos of a crashed Me210/410 with the same markings that Deagostini used. This is why I made my comment on the crosses. http://www.ww2aircraft.net/forum/aircraft-pictures/accidents-losses-32006-4.html I have to agree on the light blue-gray undersides which I neglected to ment...

I just received one of the new M 210/410. Not to bad. The camo scheme is overall dark gray with dark green splinters which are hard to see. From what I have found in research is that the fuselage and upper wing crosses are wrong. They should be the just white outline. Also the instructions show putt...

Does anyone have a way to remove the screw plugs on 21st Century planes without damaging the plane or plug?

Ray

I looked at the planes, no way they are 1/6 scale, more likely 1/12 scale? A P-51 in 1/6 scale would have a wingspan of just over 6 feet. :wink: His dimensions weren't making sense anyway. :roll: Well if you consider his wingspan is actually the length of the individual wing. Add it to what the wid...

You forgot one selection.
Who does not want one?

The 109 has landed at the Normal, Illinois Walmart.

Are you sure about that? I think you meant BF-109 and not a Starfighter.

Here is the back of the box. UPC 850530003114.

Found them today at the Normal, Illinois Walmart. There were 8 now 7. On the shelf near the police vehicles. All they had were the red tails but the box shows a P47, P51D, F104 and an FW190.

Civil War.

Recieved this yesterday. I've got a new favorite FOV 1:72 tank :D I know the detail is not as crisp as what would be found on a similar Hobby Master or Dragon offering, but its well done for a FOV vehicle and its the only Panzer 38 in 1:72 thus far. Besides, I'm always a fan of the FOV tank hallmar...

I don't think I have ever seen a picture of a war elephant

Does anyone know if IXO/Altaya towed arty like this or the pak 40 (w/RSO) can be put in the deployed position with split trails?

No, they cannot be deployed.

I am also a could care less.

Ray

I'm in.

Second that or any other WWII plane!
