Been gone for a while. Cant believe the changes.

I cannot wait to get some new things. Geez, is 21C stuff still available other than E...

Tugs, bomb dollies, fuel bowsers, ground crew, spare parts, engines, engine stands, etc. Market an Airfield Accessory Kit, for each side/theater.

Generic paint schemes would be nice too.

WWII Cannon. 1/18?

Saw this on eBay. Says its almost a foot long. Working traverse and elevation.

Does not look U.S. but maybe Brit, German or Russian.

Sure one of you guys will enjoy this.

Anyone remember that series? It was Air Force themed, two officers investigating UFO sightings from the 50's, 60's & 70's. The Air Force supposedly chased a few UFO's during that time. Even lost a pilot once, he was flying a P-51 so........ A Project Blue Book Repaint P-51? An ADC F-102 or 106. But ...
