Small Scale Military Headquarters

I should say...ideaology. Their reach is becoming somewhat concerning in many areas. Correct... they don't invent much at all. Everyone elses with their twist on it.

There is nothing that will deter the Chinese to further the advance of their ideas. Everything is done with NO regard for anything else than the country itself. We see proof of that every day, not only the business side but cyber wide and in all areas. They are our number one concern NOW and in the ...

Yes he has some great skills. Lots of practrice for sure. He looked so confident...

While this is technically probably not 1/18, I couldn't resist posting this. Just awesome. Radio controlled B-29 and Bell x-1. Hope it hasn't been posted before, this is well worth the time to watch.

Up for pre order at badcat...

I have one. Have seen a few on ebay. Not highly detailed, but a nice filler. Solid and heavy. Fixed gear. Still a nice looking plane. This is the Air command series, number 19002, by Sunstar. I would say better detail than the F-18s they put out.

I think Gemini did one. This one has a wingspan of 37 inches and fuselage length of 41 inches. I think its time to move just to 1/72.... I could make a whole airshow diorama just in that scale.

Regards..

While I know some of us are modelers, and some not, this is really neat, in 1/72 scale. Go here http://www.anigrand.com. They also have the C-17 and C-141 in this scale and 1/144. This is as big as some 1/18 planes!

Wish the box was with this. I have seen prototype/saleman samples bring big dollars in other stuff i collect. I woudn't repaint either, certainly seems legit. Doesn't make a nice display piece but I guess it's all in your taste. If it's a single piece or one of only a very few, I would think it be q...

Interesting plane up for auction on ebay. Maybe it belongs to someone on here?

Got mine today, along with the RF-4c. Love them both. Much larger plane than I expected. I'll be getting the Ef-111 when it comes out too. Never had the chance to see a real one, wish I did.

Aikens has put up a Witty F-18 decked out in Blue Angels # 1 paint for preorder. Hadn't heard about this one. Wondered when we were gonna get one, considering how many they have out now.

SkyWorks has posted some info and pictures of the A-10 landing gear.

Ok, time for PH to start this project. Enough waiting for these companies. I'm still in for one. We all know what he can do... If we are shelling out 250 to 350 for the F-14 with a bunch of problems, why not the A-10 done right?

So how close is this too 1/18 scale? I dont have the specs to scale down. Very nice looking plane with the retracts...

Hobby Lobby had one which I got with a 30 or 40 percent off coupon, can't quite remember. List was 129.00. Took alot longer to assemble than I thought it would and yes kinda delicate!

I never said you were at fault. I also did not say you did anything wrong! WTF? I was merely agreeing with the previous poster. Seems like quite a few planes have small problems including the wheels/gear. Mine didn't, other than the paint. I wasn't singling any body out and I dont think the other po...

No problems here either . I agree with coreyeagle. Mine has been sitting over a week on its gear and no problems. Just make sure the gear is not splayed outward.

Thanks for the info. Looks like wingspan is 40 inches, 36 inches long, for an airframe only kit. Wings did look a little oversize.

Hey, new guy here...So is that a-10 shown on that page close to 1/18 too? I saw the dimensions but dont have the real spec to compare.

I 've ordered from Aikens and Big Bad toystore. Aikens says they will be arriving Monday and shipping out right away. Hopefully by end of the week...

Nice plane, pathetic paint...too bad.

Yeah I thought the whole idea of pre-ordering was to be able to get one reserved for an individual and shipped sooner than the rest of the crowd. Guess that doesn't work all the time....

How did the "special edition" planes get thru "customs" sooner than the regular ones? They still have to come across the ocean...

Drop tanks are shown in the box pictures on Merits website under toy shows for the Hobby show in October. Assuming that is how it is going to be packaged. I just think they were left off for this hurried production picture, and I mean hurried!!
