Small Scale Military Headquarters

Hi DT,
Thanks for putting up some great pieces. I have a question for you on BBD. is it first or 2nd release? i have a first release (more of a toy), and thinking about expanding into a 2nd release ( factory decals on the props, etc., )
Thanks,
bc

buckyroo,
i just noticed the Korean Corsair.....i a giving it some thought.
thanks for the bird dogging,

So lately, I have been reading about the Chosin Reservoir campaign. Getting sucked up into the topic is more accurate. Corsairs off the Lyete helped contribute to the success of the breakout. Thus my latest obsession. I have the 21C Kepford Corsair ( whistling death...love it) but have been contempl...

I don't know if others ever used this site, but I had fun searching the history of WWII aviation this fellow had created. It is a shame that a reference had to be removed. There was no profit in his intent, just a good intention to provide others with information (photos, images, and organization) ...

thanks, Snake. hopefully, HM customersupport reads this board. it would be great if they did a retro/mod on stands. looks like i will be buying some witty stands in the future...

just recieved the Robin Olds F-4 HobbyMaster in 1/72. glad i have it, but it suffers from pre-F-111 standards.do any of you have a success story of using a witty wings stand on this F-4? looking for a sling/cradle, much like the F-102 HM variant. i tried the F-4 with the F-11 ad F-102 cradle and the...

wow.
a G series no less.
my wife is really gonna go into 'splodey-head mode.

F-104 stand. Not mine, but the best use I have seen of a Witty stand in a long time. Apparently, you just need to file down the cradle a little bit, to get the right fit. Make some room for the hook, and get the exhaust nozzle to line up. Not hard. :wink: http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r278/kab...

I looked on aiken's website and found many witty stands for sale for around 8 bucks a stand. for which model are you using? the f-104? f-16?
thanks for the idea,
bc

Just got my F-102. 8) But I have seen pics of this model on a Witty stand, and it looks awesome. http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r278/kabelace/Witty%20stand%20mods/HA3101F-102DeltaDaggeronWittystand.jpg OOOOOOHH....daddy likey......where can i pik me up one of them there witty stands? bc

40 bucks for a brazilian bikini? the seller is a heathen...but it does include free shipping......

just got notified by aikens that the preorder is in for my next a1....this will make 4. i passed on the SEA w/4 stripes.....and i'll be adding in a f4 as well.
i pray that you all have good health and a blessed thanksgiving.

snake, i might just have to agree with ya. i wasn't expecting that i would purchase the 'vaark, bat am glad that i did. I still have a bad crush on the a-1 (the dambusters will brign me up to 4), but the f-111 really stands out. I am a big fan of the f-102, but HM underperformed on that one. I hope ...

love, love, love, the f-111a 'vaark. (sorry for the double posting on this). what i like the most about this piece is that it can be displayed, in cradle, with the gear down and all armaments attached. on the stick with the gear down, it looks like it is in initial takeoff configuration. What always...

OMG! OMG! OMG! just unpacked my USAF f-11a 'vaark. what a piece of art! gorgeous! they really thought through the engineering this time around. i have it displayed wings forward, gear down, and all missles/bombs on the hardpoints. with this specimen, you have the ability to diplay it on the stick wi...

collect what you like. there is no either/or. i have collected many 1/18 scale aircraft, but not all. now i am expanding into hobbymaster 1/72 vietnam era/ korean war/ century series aircraft. when you get a 1;18 scale plane in your hand, all you can think is "hell yeah." when you get a HM 1/72 in y...

my 'vaark is being delivered on Monday, along with my f-102(alaska) in the same order. i feel all tingly all over!

due to space constraints, they are still packaged up, waiting for the day to come to be displayed. gotta finish the basement so i can do them justice.

[quote="snake Glad you are happy with your CC iballdriver. :D[/quote] i have a pretty good collection, i am happy with what i have. now i need the room to display them all. time to finish the basement into manland so i can put all my pieces out! it was a notable reaction. removed the shipping box fr...

bid and won a 1 18 California Cutie. Had buyer's remorse all week. box was delivered today, and the BM disappeared. what a great specimen. I have another piece coming this week: shooting star f-104. i want to convert it to a NF-104a. contacting some of you already. wings need some modding, the rudd...

Good score iballdriver.

forgot to mention: thanks for the kind words and support.

California Cutie is a great looking P-38. 8) Good score iballdriver. it was still just a bit more than i wanted to spend, but in the end, i had to bite before the pricing point got out of reach. last on the list of "gotta haves" is the flying tigers p-40, but HM is making it a challenge. still thou...
