Small Scale Military Headquarters

Went across the border again today. Stopped at a Wal Mart, Target, and a TRU. Here's what I found: Wal Mart: One Yellow 11 190 and some carded DAK troops. Target: Three 1/72nd figure sets (Two WWII and one modern), some Zeroes and Sea Hurricanes, some figure/vehicle sets, and a Bravo Force Sherman. ...

Agreed. The perfect way to cap off my 32X Collection.

I see some of these at my local Wally World too. I've seen flatbeds, tankers, standard cargo carriers, NASCAR transports, and even a few auto carriers (Able to carry four 1/32nd scale cars).

Now that's a Spit I wouldn't mind having. I LIKE IT VERY MUCH!

looks to me like Harrison ford is peeking out to see if i will bid on them. Them hiding just enough to where he can still see what I'm doin' DAMN YOU HARRISON FORD!! Stop selling your Target/TRU action series FoV on Ebay under false pretenses! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :twisted:

This is why I don't use e-bay.

You make this look so easy.

I have a question about thev 21st Century 1/32 P-40 "Flying Tiger" flown by RT Smith with #47 on the fuselage---Does this P-40 come with bombs, drop tanks, etc.? Not that I know of. The only extras I think it comes with are some stickers to correct the "neutered" Chinese nationalist markings on the...

Have a German soldier showing off one of the dummies to his superiors.

Saw it in the 5$ walmart DVD bin today..didn't buy as I had never heard of it, although it might be worth it for the At-6/Zero vs F-14 stuff alone. That's one of the best scenes in the entire movie. It was also one of the most difficult to shoot, since the Zero replicas were flying at full throttle...

You win.

I have one FOV Spitfire I bought because it was the only game in town. Trust me, one of these is all anyone will need. :wink: I will be waiting for the 21C version before I buy another. 8) Likewise. Until 21st announced a Spit, all we had were Unimax and Corgi (Which wasn't really an option for me ...

I'm curious as how 21st Century's upcoming 1/32 Spitfire will compare to FOV's Spitfire---FOV's weathering is impressive while 21st planes have little, if any, weathering on theirs. http://www.21stcenturytoys.com/area21/articles.asp?newsID=324 I don't think the lack of weathering will keep the 21st...

Like Col. Pickle, I shop online as well. I don't live far from the border, but the Wal-Marts and TRU's over there are quite few and they don't stock much (One time I checked the toy aisle at a Wally World and found just one "Miss Bonnie" P-51D. )

Will the Wildcat have retracting landing gear, or will it be interchangeable like BBI's F-4J?

EDIT: Whoops, I'm an idiot.

*Sighs* Phantom of the Ruhr. My favorite Lanc...

Saw a couple Corgi planes when I was looking through a catalogue the Natl. Motor Museum Mint sent me. They got the Taranto Swordfish and a USAAF Spitfire V that I'm thinking of getting for my birthday.

No, you've pretty much made me deeply envious in one fell swoop.

Excuse me while I pick my jaw up off the floor.

I can't see how the other guy would be disappointed that you added a extra bit of realism to the model. I say go for it.

Haven't seen anything in terms of pictures, but given how well their F-4J did, I wouldn't be suprised that BBI is following up that success with a Starfighter in 1/32nd. If it is true, this will be good news for us 1/32nd fanatics. There is also rumor flying around that it might be in Vietnam camo, ...

I guess i will try a small one, the FoV 1/72 zero AI-155 A6M2 Zero, in Pearl Harbor Akagi markings, lead aircraft, 2nd Div. fighters unit, Lt Comdr Shigeru Itaya, pilot. Overall Leader, 1st wave fighters (found this info on a tamiya model gallery) I know it was pristine during the attack, but for l...

My guess is slim to none.

Man, you stuck it to him good.

Great piece. If your canopy is loose, try gluing some strips of elastic bands to the inside of the canopy. I had my eyes set on the Fleet Air Arm Corsair, but when I found the Big Hog/Red 183 dogfight pack, I went with that instead. I was not disappointed.
