Small Scale Military Headquarters

I 've seen this happen with 1 particluar online store and its beginning to bug me. As I have been stuck twice now. This site has listings for "hard to find" from a "large retailer in Motor works packaging" "only 2 left" for $100 First was the Spitfire with DDay markings (very nice) so I ordered one....

My tracks have never come off...in the box.

Hehe

DH

The panther was a bigger tank any way. I always thought the 21C panther was a bit big for 1/18 , the Sherman a bit small and the tiger a bit small for true 1/18 My tank book gives varying lenghts, for example the T-34 is listed as 24 foot xx inches long ( with gun barrel) Now the same book lists the...

here is the url:

just type in kubelwagen in the quick search.

One of the 2 online stores I buy my 1/18 cars has the desert one for $59

I have the gray one, dont remember what I paid for it.

DH

Most likely 21 C didn't expect customers to be using magnifing glasses and refernce books to verify correctness.

Who knows maybe that corporal got lost and was hitching a ride to the next RR area...

DH

They have to deliver, as look at the money that these online stores have tied up in preorders. They (online stores) do not want to refund that back. That would be a huge loss of income. I would imagine delays are for product testing, and re working weak areas and parts, ie wings and landing gear. So...

2+ Years like the Avenger hehe...

DH

That is why I am less than enthusatic with 21C promoting the Mig 15 and the F-86 or any other new item.

When the container ship clears customs and starts unloading to the walmart trucks, THEN I want to know about it. Not 2+ years in advance.

DH

Keep an eye on AREA-21 tomorrow! An update on the MiG-15 project is on it's way. With even more to come. Time to dust off this thread for some new discussion. Enough DISCUSSIONS! Lets set some video clips of the factory packing crates of F-86s and Mig's and Me 262's and Avengers and BF110's and Haw...

That Avenger news can't be right. We are pre-ordering Avengers for alot more and waiting for two years and Wally brings it out for $39.95?? :? At that price, I sure would buy every paint version. :P and I'm not even a plane guy. :oops: TTT Maybe he thought it was the bunker hill corsair, i've seen ...

Local walmart had suprise! 3 stukas and corsair. First I've seen on the east coast of Florida. I said to myself I wasn't going to buy another stuka, but the tropical scheme looks really good.

Are there enhancements as well? Seems to me some improvements over earlier ones?

DH

I guess I should have said, it doesn't have to be all metal! Ala the 50lb King Tiger.

You would have thought with all the Tamiya KT tanks FOV would have tooled another tank.

I still want a Centurion.

DH

make all those 1/32 armor pices into 1/18!

DH

It's extremely likely the detail parts are to taken off the turret and hull pieces. Just like the guy here doing the tiger conversion.

DH

I have both, the PH scheme is , according to the info, an actual zero shot down at Pearl Harbor, there were some BW pictures of the wreckage.

DH

Well AT is addressing some of the issues VERY quickly it seems. The addition of issue paper around the parts is great news as is the gear. Supposedly the seat position has been adjusted as well. As for the pilot, my guess is the serious guys would throw him out first and put some other pilot figure....

Customer service is what set's business apart, most people will pay more knowing they have great support and service.

When I started my website, the number 1 goal was to provide the best service possible.

DH

Sometimes ebay will pull a listing for various reasons. Having "20" or more of a single plane seems to me a warning flag.

Especially since these are supposed to be rare...

DH

I'm more a vehicle type guy and don't really care for figures. The PTE figures are nowhere close to the 21C figures. The foxhole picture is not using the dudes that came with the howitzer. I thought the howitzer was cool looking as is. And no one else is making a 1/18 assault piece. Buy the howitzer...

I bought one recently after seeing the foxhole pictures, which they intended! I ordered on Sat got it on Monday. My advice, throw the figures away and use others if your going to display. It's pretty cool. The muzzle brake was probably added to hide the flash led. It's a cool piece for sure; with so...

Well if you get a chance, or only want to buy 1 109, buy the Rall 109, the special box art and Rall bio is really cool, plus you've seen him on many TV shows, 1 reason the Sky Captain P-40 is scarce at WM, the boxart sells the plane.

DH

Over here in Florida, I have yet to see the red tulip me 109, I see fw 190s, other 109's, and german F104's even some USAF F104s. My local walmart got 4 P-51 ridge runners and soon after they were gone, they got the F104s (2)and Seeman's 109 (2) Have yet to see the corsairs or stuka.. I keep kicking...

With my website, I find that if I annouce a new DVD coming soon and have a preview picture, sales basically stop for other products until the new product is out. So as I like orders, when I can ship it is when I put it out in the window. So I don't really like the pre order basis, hell I've had a fe...

I haven't taken mine out of the box, I assume the front end is weighted somehow to sit on the front wheel?
