Small Scale Military Headquarters

Hey guys, Well, it seems that every so often, someone will have a problem with their XD. Stuff breaking, or trouble removing this or that from the packaging, how best to hang their birds. Remember the horror of finding your beloved Blackhawk or whatever on the floor, in pieces because the 10lb test ...

Although Im not a legal type, I do believe that anyone scammed by this guy should contact the US Postal Service and the Feds to pursue mail fraud. The is at the very least a "theft by deception" and the dollar amounts being talked about would make it a felony in most states. You might not get your s...

Actually, VF-17 did have decks available to them during one point in their combat tour. They were flying CAP over a carrier group while the groups planes flew strikes against the Japanese. Only one pilot made use of the deck to refuel and rearm. He was a young ensign, but as I cant find my book, I c...

Well guys, seems that noone wants to buy from the guy. The Auction is for 7 days, with 4 days left, and he has zero bids.

Labeling yourself Krimemasters and the obvious depiction of a hooded thief removing the 51 through a broken window is probably not the best marketing ploy.

Admiral Blackburn wrote in his book that prior to deploying to the Pacific, his squadron, and Vought Tech-Reps had all but eliminated the nasty carrier landing habits of the Hog with various uprgrades and improvements. Stronger oleo struts for the gear, a small fence on the left (I think left) wing ...

Guys, Now I cant remember where I saw it, but in the past two days, I did see a proposal from an Army Capt. for a 106mm recoilless rifle armed Hummer. Even to the point that AM General created a mount for the vehicle at $4000.00 a pop. It is/was/will be meant to counter RPG attacks from built up are...

Hey 21C, if your listening, BBI just yelled "Fights On!" Its 3 miles to the merge and your behind in power and altitude. Time for some of that fancy pilot crap. And there is more on the line here than who buys the next round at the club. If you are really re-tooling your 51, the minimum standard jus...

I found this earlier today. The guy is an artist. And this Hellcat is beautiful. Really want one in 1/18th now. Check it out.

Was at the 101 & Camelback (West Phoenix, Az.) location on Sat. Plenty of Shermans, Tigers, M-113's (all tan) and Chevron 190's. What really took my by surprise were the number (10+) 1/6 R/C Stuarts there, at $149.99. I have never seen more than 1 or 2 in any store, and I saw at least one of the wea...

A Zero will sell big. I have to buy at least two, and possibly 3. Personally, Im getting tired of the German planes as I am more into the Pacific Theater than the ETO. F-4 too big, hell yes, thats why its unofficial knickname is Rhino, and I want 2, an E model, in SEA cammo and a G with the WW tailc...

I started out as an 0311 Infantryman in the Corps. First duty station was Marine Barracks Guam, M.I. followed by a stint with the Walking Dead in Lima 3/9. I did 11 months at Range 214, mostly as Pitt NCOIC and finished my active time with Kilo 3/1. Did a WestPac in 89 aboard the USS Belleau Wood, L...

Hey All, I was in a TRU the other day, 75th Ave & Thomas, Phx, Az. I spoke to an older employee, either one working on a 20 year retirement or a person who was retired and working a part-time job. Either way, I suspect that she paid more attention to things being said in the organization than the av...

Ah hell, I blew that one. It is a CIP, although some are not venetian blind type, but rather flat panels looking like cardboard squares painted to match the vehicle with duct tape on the corners. Hey the glacial armour thing sounded like pretty good b.s. though. Ok, Ill just leave quietly now and hi...

The "Grill" that I believe you are refering to appears to be nothing more than steel bars welded to the hull of the 113 to hold cargo. If you'll notice the Jerry Can (fuel-probably mogas to power an aux generator) behind the grill. I believe the "grill" like appearance is probably an ad hoc attempt ...

Beautiful Job

Thanks for sharing

From Toy Fair 2004

If the photo is accurate, I mean not a pre-production sample, or a dolled up pic, 21C just took a direct and possibly fatal hit.

That is beautiful, plain and simple!

Ill take a Zero, as it seems this will be the only way.

Ski, "WP" is the correct tail code for all Kunsan AB based aircraft. Here is a reference. http://www.globemaster.de/cgi-bin/tail/db.cgi?db=default&uid=default&view_records=1&so=ascend&Tail+Code=wp Remember, the Korean based F-16's are the Wolf Pack, hence the WP tail code. The bbi offering appears t...

I used 50lb test for my sons 1/6th Little Bird, and that held up fine. So, after being satisfied with that, all of my 1/18 stuff was hung with the same spool. Yeah, its a little bigger diameter line, and does not conceal too well, but I have not had one failure. No matter what you do, I recommend ch...

I agree that the cannon looks goofy, but it could be camera angle. Ill hold off on that one until we see more pics. If the only thing wrong is the cannon, well thats easy to replace. I believe the most important element is the fact that bbi is entering the WWII foray. It is a fairly safe way to ente...

Ok, Im in. Hats off to P51 and Thanks. Hey um 21C you payin any attention here???? We are serious collectors and enthusiasts.
