Small Scale Military Headquarters

ostketen, I checked out your other post & went to the Great Models webstore...They had 4 or 5 different 1/72 MRC planes & several paint schemes of each...Price was 1/2 what I paid for any of mine.
Thanks for the "heads up"!

That's too bad billgiff...I checked them out on line - Looks like they are based in Oklahoma City...They've got a couple of stores in PA. Fortunately, they have a bunch of stores in TN, I think there are several in Memphis alone (not to make you feel bad). Look, you can order on line - Looks like th...

I got into the MRC planes a couple of years ago and collected 20 or so in a year's time...They offer really good detail, especially for the price. I got most of mine at Hobbytown stores, but I have noticed Hobby Lobby carries them as well, and when they run a 25% or 40% coupon, they are a real steal...

Jack, I couldn't get the link to work, but no big deal...I cannot wait for your gear to be available - I'll need two sets, and I think you already explained how to remove existing main gear in a previous link.
Hurry, please

OK, I was gonna sell my Pavehawk, not enough room, etc...But now that I've seen what it could look like, I'm gonna keep it a while longer!
Excellent job, pcoughran!!!

Seriously, check out your local Hobby Lobby...They retail them from $99.00 to $119.00 (depends on area I guess). But, the best part is, you can go to their website & join to get coupons via email & here's why that is great news: 1.) I bought my first 4D Vision from MTS for $149.00 plus $15.00 shippi...

Thanks for the "heads up", Razor17019...I picked up a few of the 1/18th scale 21C pilots to have on hand in case JSI and AllGo actually release more 1/18 planes - If they do, I'm guessing they won't have pilots, and at BC's price of $2.00 each, I'll have pilots available to fly them!

Good find, ostketten...It's my favorite of all the 21C P51's (1/32)...I'd buy it again, in a heart beat, if it came out in 1/18th scale! Might look cool flying next to my P47 Checkertail! (Oh, sorry, Passion Wagon's next)

Hope it doesn't interfere with their re-release of the 1/32 Pershing!!! EBay prices have been so high, I didn't think I'd ever get the chance to own one!
Can't wait!

"Hurrihawk"...Good one VMF214

Looks like the landing gear on this JSI P40 (prototype?) is backwards! (Picture from Merit website of the 2010 American International Toy Fair)

Thanks for the pix, Jim...I'll take one of each!

Welcome to the forum, Jim...Jason has been a class act from day one and you do have big shoes to fill! You can garner a great deal of useful feedback from this forum - However, patience and a thick skin are required...Most the members here really love the 1/18 scale in particular, aircraft or armour...

Maybe a WWII trainer would be cool...Thinking AT6 Texan or Navy SNJ version.

I'm definitely on the "Welcome Jim" team, and look forward to having another industry "insider" to help keep us up on new develpments in the 1/18 scale! Guess you detected some hard feelings with your initial post, but hopefully those will abate with time, and we members can benefit from your input....

They look outstanding! I'd definitely be interested in a set if you ever decide to produce & sell them...

thatf14guy, that black paint looks awesome! I have a second F14 still in the box, it's the Special Edition version, and I want to have it repainted in something other that the original JSI scheme...Everytime I see a new paint scheme I want it - Since I am "paint skill impaired" (or whatever), I am g...

Thanks, Jack...Will look forward to getting your new gear...Glad you'll offer a painted version! Just let us know cost when you're ready...

Well, I couldn't resist it...I got a 40% off coupon from Hobby Lobby's website and bought the one 4D F14 they had for $99.99 less 40% (net $59.99!!!) Why did I buy a second one? Well it is a beautiful, highly detailed 1/32 model for certain, and maybe I'll get a repaint done on it, or maybe I'll sel...

Jack, how difficult will it be to remove existing gear & replace with your new gear?

Just some final comments on JSI's F14, from my own personal perspective. Now that most of the "dust" has settled, and I am able to reflect on what many of us went through to get our F14's "fixed", here are my thoughts: As I look over at my F14, sitting proudy on my somewhat inaccurate but functional...

Just received my Corgi 1/32 scale Hurricane VYR...Outstanding detail, simply a beautiful model!
Should receive my Bader version on Monday - Can't wait!

Looks like local Memphis TRU is closing out there FOV 1/32 & 1//18 "Action Series" vehicles...Picked up a 1/32 German Elefant for $19.99 (marked down from $25.99)...The 1/18 vehicles were also reduced, altough I don't remember the price. I know these aren't quite as nice as the "Enthusiast Series", ...

Well, found a 4D Vision F14 at Hobby Lobby, in Memphis, today for $99.99...I paid $149.00 at MTS and now they are up to $159.00! My bad, I know, I got anxious...I could have even gotten it at Historical Aviation for $119.00. As I said earlier, and many have agreed, this is an outstanding model, in m...

Happy for you "modeler" guys, sad for those of us who aren't
Hope AT does come through, & appreciate Jason's willingness to check in from time to time and give us some idea of AT's activities!
