Small Scale Military Headquarters

The Do-335, but slightly more realisticly (lol) a Su-34 or Bf-109G, or the FW-190D

Interesting, I didnt expect FOV to start in 1/18!

It's a shame FOV is making copies of everything that's out, and if they must copy, why not make the Panther, which has been gone for who knows how long?

Can someone give a review of the Abrams? Is it any better than BBI's?

It's a hopeless dream, but I would love a Do-335.

A Fiesler Storch, Arado 234, or Arado 196 would be great too.

Good to hear, thanks for everything Britt!

Quite a few :) You need to lose the "hump" flairings for the nose cannons, remove the hump for the wheels on the wings, remove the wing cannons, change the main landing gear wheels to the one on the BF-109E, and add a small triangular window below the first side window. (You will see a sort of trian...

Problem? That's not a problem, it's an undocumented feature :lol: (old computer joke) The blades on real helicopters also sag, maybe a bit less, but they do sag significantly nonetheless. Now how to make them all sag evenly is a problem. The only thing that has worked for me, although it is temporar...

Hi Jason, welcome back, "They are in 1:18 but not your standard military collectible" That really got me thinking... can you tell me if it is a military vehicle at all? BTW, is there any chance that Admiral Toys will produce a 1:18 diecast car line? It's quite a popular collectable, and most compani...

Agreed.
But what kills it for me is the way the wings fold. When folded, they sit way to high, they should be nearly parallel with the fuselage.

No cheating, it was like that.

The paint is outstanding!
TKO, do you know if there is any detail/treads on the tires?
That's kind of the selling point for me, I love Admiral's tires on the 262.

TKO,
Do you have any information about the ME-262's?
We havent even seen the paint master for the NF 262.
And what happened to the Mig-21?

NY Targets are not one of those 42

I had the same "problem"

Just push it back with more force untill it clicks in. I was scared at first, but it locks in place if you push it deeper.

Now then, why shouldnt people in Brooklyn have these models?

Pretty steep, but it's more or less the same in every museum I guess. The AAM in LI charges $450 (last time I asked).

I would love to take a ride, but thats too much for me.

Wow, how much was it?

The Necromancer has come to bump this.

Sorry, that's all I have.

That brings a tear to my eye

I cant wait till my target gets BBI!

We need a pimped out Hanomag with flames along the sides, a body kit, NOS, 24 inch chrome road wheels, a 5000 watt sound system, gigantic exhaust tips and a huge wing on the back. It would be dubbed the Hanomag Type R. It would come with a limited edition action figure, Werner Von-Vtec. :lol: :lol:...

I was at a LI Target Sunday, can you guess the result?

Attention Normandy, Moth...just for the record, I also went trolling in a couple of LI TRUs, nada so far...I'll post pronto if something turns up, meanwhile, I'm waxing nostalgic for the days of filling up a shopping cart @ TRU with 21CT stuff (remember when the first XD playsets came out)...happy ...

BTW, what is the price for the HPH models?

Im interested in the Do-335

Here is a "line drawing" of it,

IMO, the Avenger takes up the least room of any 1/18 plane today, with wings folded that is. Believe me, when someone will make a 1/18 B-17, I will make room, even if that means loosing my TV. :wink: Maybe I am a bit extreme, but I threw out my table to put a shelf for my planes, I also hollowed out...
