Small Scale Military Headquarters

I would be interested maybe in a full build

I hate to break it to that articles author but the Collings Foundation also has an F-4 Phantom in flyable condition

Dannyc I thought i posted here. I've reached my my goal and have 19 orders for kits. Once I have the first batch done I'll see if anyone else is interested.

yes you did, my apologies I was referring to your possible next production run

Ok guys, most of you know I have been working on a 1/18 A4E Skyhawk. Hoped I would have been further along than what I am, but with work and other projects it has been shoved to the side for far too long. Another contributing factor would be the failed ME163 Komet I produced a couple years ago. I f...

A little of both. Learned one thing though is keep the original boxes unless you plan on permanent display. Though I still cant get my Stuka apart to put back in it's box. It's so old I'm afraid it'll break, any tips? Also I lucked out when I got a friend deeply into 1:18 planes as he didn't want t...

beautiful work! hey Pickel what paint did you use for Cobra King? I am using AK models US Army/ USMC green colors for my shermans Hey Danny, I used Mig's OD ( olive drab ) paint kit and I pre-shaded with black first. I like using his paints and they go down well. But the finish is semi gloss and I ...

hey y'all I am working on a M4A3 (76) W, specifically I am trying to replicate the Sherman that was involved in the Battle of Castle Itter, my issue is I want to get the paint scheme for Besotten Jenny. Does anyone have any resources or references for the correct shade of olive drab for a Sherman ta...

Makes sense to me cutting tanks and MPs but I don't understand reducing the infantry battalions though. except it doesn't make sense in that the Marines will still need tanks for fire support if they ever actually do amphibious assaults on Chinese controlled islands. Removing tanks and a few artill...

Hang in there Danny! Forget the History degree idea as a major. That's fine for a side minor. Jobs related to it aren't going to be there in a sick society that wants to erase history and embrace their own decadent culture. It is quite unfortunate that is the case, I currently help run social media...

Times are tough right now for many on here that aren't old retired farts like us. They're experiencing challenges like all of us but may have job, school or health issues with family that takes priority over our toys and models. Life is uncomfortable in a lot of ways right now. Both time and funds ...

I'm still in Salt Lake. Still doing design and marketing work for my clients. Some of you here know me outside of the AREA-21 world and know that I have a love of fast cars and currently have 3 sports cars I like to enjoy on weekends when I'm not working. My youngest son is a plane nut and loves al...

Beautiful progress on the Dauntless

Man and here I am feeling like a kid again at 21

beautiful!

So this is what I did for the nose gear (same problem..spring sucked up inside). https://i.ibb.co/C1fVgTD/20200717-131324.jpg Take a small piece of springy brass sheet. Cut a small rectangle out and fold it in half. CA glue the back side only on the bulkhead immediately and centered on the gear leg...

Is this nose gear or main gear? And is the rest of the gear intact (strut, pivot, and locking arm)?

One of the main gear and if I recall correctly it should be intact. I will have to try and pull out the old girl when i go north to visit family later this week

Unfortunately the plane is in storage an hour away from me. I can tell you at least the spring is inside of the plane. I believe it has to do with the spring and not the spar breaking

Folkwulfe could you possibly go into detail on what you did to repair the landing gear on your F-104? I have one from many years ago that i damaged the gear on when I was a young boy that didnt know these would be so valuable later on. I would love to be able to repair my bird back to her former glory

here is the last time they used it

any plans to add some finer details like a photo on the panel of a crewmans girlfriend?

Holy crap that is detailed! Awesome work

Hmm I remember someone on here had decals made from smaller scale (i think) water slides that were resized to 1/18 correctly. Maybe something similar could be done for those lables?

Can you show an example of what you mean

Hello everyone I hope all our members are safe during this quarantine. I am looking for either a BBI sherman or a FoV sherman loose, if the tank is missing some things that can be replaced that is fine. with the pandemic going on I have been working on some projects in 1/6 and am looking for a sherm...
