Ebay seller who sold 1/18 ordnance and pitot tubes?

Hey y'all I have a question, was it a member on this forum who used to sell the replacement pitot tubes for the F-16, F-104, and also sold other ordnance for 1:18 aircraft? I am asking as I am refurbishing a 1:18 F-16 that I am trying to decide if I want to keep for the museum or if I should sell it...

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...

Re: Marines to cut all tank units, etc.

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...
