Re: New Aircraft Projects For 2023

Hey Dannyc! As far as jets go, that F4 Phantom was not a bad idea! I have always loved that plane due to how insanely loud that thing is at the air shows, and I would definitely buy one if one ever popped up. As far as my ultimate favorite jets that I would pay GOOD money for, those would be the A-1...

Re: New Aircraft Projects For 2023

I am a WWII fan mainly, and am STILL firm on us needing WWII RUSSIAN PLANES! That said, here are some suggestions below. RUSSIAN FIGTHERS: Bell P-39 Airacobra (Boss, but not Russian made - Benefit is that it made many top Russian aces) (~10,000 made) Yak9 (The best Russian made fighter - EPIC!) (~16...

Re: More First Time Builds

That Firefly in German colors is very nice looking! Are the molds for the top only, or the entire tank, or just the turret? I have never sat down to compare the differences between a Firefly and a regular Sherman, but thought I read years ago that it was only the gun and turret that was different?

Re: A Question for Picklehaube

Yes! The P-39 Airacobra gives us our first Russian WWII fighter finally! They did very well in this plane. My all time Russian favorite though is the Yak-9. So badly wish someone was interested in making that one. It was the best Russian fighter they produced.

Nope! The stupid forum message system constantly says they are on hold! Absolutely ridiculous. Did you see mine going your way? I am not sure who to contact to get it fixed either unfortunately. I think Pickle messaged me 6mon to a year ago probably and I couldn't read his either.

Grunt1, you still making this kit? I tried contacting you, and it seems like you responded back, but it says I am not authorized to read your message while it is on "hold"? Never seen that yet on here.

I would like to get one of these M3s.

Re: Tempest Project 1/18

Excellent as a "future" idea, BUT ONLY AFTER YOU BUILD a P-39 Airacobra, Yak-9, and or Ilyushin Il-2!!!

Those are such hugely produced WWII planes, and would offer some great German opposition planes!!!

ME-163 would be cool to have in production again...

After that, produce the obscure Tempest?

P-39 Aircobra

I could have sworn a good 3-5 years back now there was someone in the 1:18 scale forum making a P-39 Aircobra? I might have mixed up another plane someone made. If anyone knows if this was made, and who made it, please chime in.

Thanks!

Probably stupid, but I have no idea what a place "card" is? Are you referring to custom stands for the F14s or something else?

What is the difference between the A and the B versions? I guess the generic as well.
