Small Scale Military Headquarters

I've officially moved onto 1/48, so all the 1/72 stuff I'd held onto for the last 20 years now will be going.

These are the most recent models I've managed to complete. I'm no master modeler, but with the durth of 1/18, I've taken it up again after 20 years. http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t223/chunks_album/IMG_0683.jpg http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t223/chunks_album/IMG_0681.jpg http://i161.photobu...

My first foray into Ebay. Still learning to sell. It's time to pass on my 1/72 collection. At 15/week if they always sell, should only take 2 or 3 years!!

Very nice, he does great work.

When you're ever up this way, you're always welcome to visit.

Thanks everyone, I do miss 1/18. Worry about it? I guess not too much. There's just too many options.

:lol: Granch sir, I'm always at home. During the holidays, I'm home even longer. My alarms are three very noisy and hostile domesticated mini-lions. NWarty, here's some more arty in 1/6 and 1/144. Woulda been nice if any of these came out in 1/18 though. http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t223/chunk...

1/18 was what got me back into these hobbies. It'll be back someday. Since the hobby got started again, I'd gone into 1/6, but it to has become lacking due to few original releases. I'm now collecting 1/48-50 until something new comes along. So far that's only been in 1/6 but still scarce. Some 1/48...

Yeah, I'm not sure whats going on there. He'd always been quick, pleasant, and informative with me. Here's some photos. http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t223/chunks_album/IMG_0582.jpg http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t223/chunks_album/IMG_0584.jpg http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t223/chunks_a...

Wrong scale, but in case you haven't seen these. They were released by Armoury about 7-8 years ago.

Weird, they're offering some recently released 1/6 stuff just from a quick glance. Namely the Soldier Story Iwo marine and tank traps.

Doesn't make sense.

Sounds too much like an avoid to me.

Are my eyes right? At about the 2:15 mark, are those WWII era bombs on those Intruders? I think your eyes might be right. WWII era bombs were sometimes used on Navy strike aircraft in 'Nam. Don't know if you recall the USS Forrestal disaster where 500 pounders and other ordnance started ccoking off...

Cool video. Are my eyes right? At about the 2:15 mark, are those WWII era bombs on those Intruders?

Owe, I'm sorry to hear that. Doesn't help, but take a look at the feedback he's left. Leaving negative feedback seems to be his specialty.

Does ebay have a way to report what seems to be just his way of doing business?

The link says it was painted British Dark Green instead of American Olive Drab. Anyone know the difference, or have an example, or maybe state an example of what the difference is? I appreciate Chunks efforts to prove that the fin extension is legit. :) I had no idea they retrofitted them in the fi...

Now I'm confused. According to this site (http://www.swissmustangs.ch/7215.html) Charles "Chuck" Weaver flew another plane with the same codes (G4A) which is not PW. Found this last night also, just didn't think of including it. It has the markings for both ships and a photo of the second you menti...

A little bit more on the fillet. According to this site, the fillet was added when the a/c was assigned to Captain Charles E. "Chuck" Weaver from Major Arval J. Roberson. But who knows on exact timing. http://www.mustang.gaetanmarie.com/profiles/passionwagon/paswag.htm Please let me know if I'm beat...

Sorry, just attempting to address some of the concerns about the fin fillet in the latest photos but not in the earlier ones.

Also here's the missing link.

http://www.balad.afcent.af.mil/art/medi ... 1&count=48

IIRC the fin fillet was due to the a/c becoming unstable when in some configuration/airspeed conditions, this was true of most models. When a fix was found, it was incorporated into all new construction and kits supplied for field installation on airframes still in service. ""One report stated: “Unl...

OK, went to the way back machine and it looks like the rebranding was to be Museum Military Miniatures. Still too generic for Google.

I hope things work out OK.

OOPS, looks like MTS was posting at the same time!! So no need to contact them if all else fails.

I understand he was rebranding to "Modern Military Miniatures" or something like in order to get Toys out of the business name and concentrate on one-off high commission items. His stuff is real good, no doubt about it. To generic to Google, but I understand that MTS is/was (as of 6 months ago) one ...

Thanks, would "floating" the decal, using micro-sol, onto the surface make any difference?
