Small Scale Military Headquarters

https://fivediecast.com/product/mcg-1-18-mercedes-g4-w31-1938-2/ Just released but i don't think it is specifically supposed to be Hitler's, just a convenient colour choice. ;) There is also an all black version available but i don't think Hitler rode in an all black one ever, did he? The black one ...

Ok hold on. There are 2 models of this truck on Ebay. One is 1/18 and the other is 1/24.
So check carefully if thinking of buying. Shop around and make offers to find best price you can.

hm.....well, i don't know what the problem would be. I hope P51 can help. This has been going on for quite a while now.

there are models of Spruce Gooses that are bigger than 1/18. Look up on Youtube the giant r/c planes people have built.

did he answer the question correctly? The correct answer is: JSI

Still locked out? Wow. Hopefully P51 can help him. Did he try registering again, like i suggested? He could create a new user id such as Normandy2 and at least be able to participate until his original profile is restored. If he can't register again, it may be that his IP or one very similar to it h...

wow a twin Mustang will be nearly a whole new kit. Won't be much from a 1/18 P-51 that is usable.

PH did you? Seems like a natural. I know the Rufe didn't have u/c legs but I think most could live with it. All that is really needed is the main float and 2 wing floats. The rear fairing under the tail could be scratch built.

there's supposed to be a small square panel there; I've seen it in several pics. I'm wondering if they were commonly removed during the war for some reason. It's an odd error....it took more effort and expense to make the hole than to have just made it a flush panel.

It's a square hole, in front of the tail wheel and behind the radiator flap on the underside. There is a panel covering it on the real plane but not on BBI's model. Anyone know why?

yes I noticed that.....at first I couldn't figure out if the t-34 was supposed to be a/76 or /85. However I've been talking with the seller and he is very eager to learn and improve. He plans to do 25 additional tank models. With 3D printing it's pretty easy to make improvements to the model and cha...

ok, so I heard back from the seller very quickly. They are indeed 3D printed so he said he will make it whatever size I want. I suggested he advertise that fact in his listings.

it's an unusual scale the seller has chosen. Not much interest in 1/20 armour. Usually you see 3d printed 1/18 and 1/16 offered (often both are offered by the same seller) This seller would be wise to switch to one or both of those scales....assuming it is 3d printed of course. I've contacted him wi...

Got an email from SmallJoes about Hiya's upcoming GI Joe 4 inch figure line. I'm not much of a Joe fan, but the figures look very good. 11 coming out initially, from the movies. Not cheap at $30 a figure though. Check them out on smalljoes if interested.

Can anyone vouch that these are actually 1/18 scale? I don't trust New Ray when it comes to their scale claims. I haven't been able to find them in person, so I can't examine the model before buying, so i'd have to buy online and don't want to get burned by an oversize/undersize model.

Fun fact. I found the PTE Anti aircraft missile truck on Amazon UK. I could buy it, shipped, for about $70 USD. I was just about to purchase but decided to take a second look at the pictures, which weren't great. By studying them closely I realized that it wasn't the PTE Missile truck I was buying b...

This is kind of a neat thing I stumbled across. Nice looking diecast model of a Chinese WZ-10 attack helicopter. Nearly 2 feet long. 1/24 not 1/18 but it is in scale with the Power Team Aerial Rocket Helicopter (Chinese Z-9) and would make a nice pair. Not cheap however. https://www.ebay.com/itm/314...

Big Daddy is a brand name that makes 4 different missile launcher trucks. They all look ok. Claims the truck is 20 inches long, but i'm skeptical, probably more like 16 inches long and the box it comes in is 20. Has anyone seen these? https://www.ebay.ca/itm/404330102248?hash=item5e23f3bde8:g:vyYAAO...

yeah the price is good, especially given that it's 'best offer' I'm surprised it hasn't sold yet. I hope the seller can pack it well.....it looks pretty fragile.

I just read this entire thread. Very interesting discussion from years ago. The eternal battle between 1/18 and 1/16 tanks. :) I've taken a sort of compromise position. Larger vehicles I stick with 1/18. But artillery and small tanks, like the panzer I, FT, tankettes etc I will dabble in 1/16. Even ...

I think the base tank is the Bravo Team Abrams, not the BBI. It's a strange custom......very elaborate in some areas and very simplistic in others. Looks pretty cool though.

I thought at first it might be some under scale GI Joe, Power Team or some such tank but I'm pretty sure it's 1/18 now.

what is this? Is this a bbi Abrams with an elaborate custom? Some of the detailing looks cheap, ie stickers for serial numbers and us flag, cheap looking plastic aerial. But other parts look very intricate. Seller's description is not of much help. https://www.ebay.com/itm/186255877413?hash=item2b5d...
