Small Scale Military Headquarters

That's an old writeup, don't do ebay hardly at all anymore, their fees are criminal. My son's bright idea to put a few things up which the more I think about it the more I'm tempted to take'm back down. Made a total of 4 night lightnings, this is the last one left. Don't care to build in large numbe...

That is very cool and I'll bet very heavy.

Greetings: If you would cover this with R/C aircraft covering like coverite, this will look much better and help to hide the rib look considerably. It will also be much more durable than the tissue covering. Corey That will actually enhance the ribs/spars. :wink: The materials you refer to of cours...

You may want to check your sources on that nitpick. :wink: Isn't the "Beware of the blast" text supposed to look like this or should the background be a darker shade of grey on this version? http://www.markstyling.com/f14_new_2/F-14-New.cu.25b.jpg It depends on how the guys that painted the plane d...

And yet they still sell. But then again the people that can afford the stuff are here considered fools and stupid. :roll: If ya got the money, why drive a Festiva when you can drive a Ferrari. I understand your point,vmf214. And these will be done in very limited numbers.So,if you own one of these,...

Yes and you did it yourself and it doesn't have custom gear. Labor is worth something as well, something no one seems to grasp. Jack's clientel are people that don't build models, don't have any skills, and can afford them. He's high end, well known, and his prices are expected, and, apparantly, pai...

Nice job

$120 is not bad at all for a kit of this size. Look forward to getting this one. Thanks for posting the info.

Tamiya Spray paints. I tried to use them when I repainted one of my Hornts to VFA-15 and the paints crackle. uckily I was able to remove the paint with VMP Naptha without damaging the plastic. Long live Model Masters Paints! Let me guess. You didn't use a primer coat. Or you used an Tamiya acrylic ...

Pretty cool pics

I probably would've pm'd that in the event the guy lurks this forum...

Spray cans are generally either enamel or laquer. Tamiya sprays are a primarily laquer base and are outstanding. Laquer dries whereas enamel must "cure" (solvents contained in the enamel must outgas) first. Depending on how many coats you use this can take up to a week to cure properly. Laquer is go...

You are definitely one of the best armor painters I have ever seen! Great customs!

Good news on a kit, it will make customizing much more easier to be sure. I'm guessing the kit will run at least $150 but that's just my opinion.

21st Century did a contest several years ago with buying 4 of the FW-190 planes and sending in the UPC symbols to get the "Tender Terror" P-51. There were 3 or 5 lucky folks selected to receive an extra prize. A decorative section of wing/fuselage with bullet holes in it, very much like what you di...

The 9.99 is a flat rate, no matter what you buy, up to $50, regardless of size or price, gets shipped for 9.99. Over $50 it's free in the US. Doesn't sound like they're really "recouping" anything.

Uh that's the sad part, they do have experience, plenty. They've been a factory for 1/18 for several years.

What's the deal with the upside Starfighter wings anyway?

Yep you never see that amongst XD collectors...

Wow, a hurrihawk. Talk about asking for it. JSI really needs to be on their toes right now, dumb mistakes like that ain't helping.

The dihedral appears to be ok, but the clip tips have too much rake and the markings are wrong.

Only thing "euro exclusive" about this plane was when they released them over there in a special Corgi box. Also the 190D's, Corsairs, and Stuka's could be had over there in a Corgi box. They were a ton of money too.

THANKS! great info guys i really appreciate it! so was it a European release only? Nope, not based on the "stap me" art. Hard thing to find is the Corgi boxed versions that were released in Europe only. Also some have Bette on the pilot doors, some don't. I believe all the Euro releases do for sure...
