Small Scale Military Headquarters

Purchased my first 1:144 seaplane. If I like it I'll be getting more seaplanes and bombers. Other than a bunch of 1:144 21st Century fighter planes I got at Walmart years ago when they were on sale for next to nothing, it's my first multi-engine 1:144. Anyone got this one yet, how is it? It's on th...

The also had a 4" figure line I hadn't seen before —can't remember the name— but they were officially licensed modern USMC figures. Four diff. figs sold in two packs or as singles with a small wall/fortification or an ATV. They were basically new sculpt Chap Mei figs - they had some accessories tha...

Bravo Team - 1/18 Woodland camo Abrams - $23 plus shipping
Bravo Team - 1/18 Woodland camo Abrams with driver figure - $26 plus shipping
Bravo Team - 1/18 Woodland camo Bradley - $25 plus shipping

Just discovered both Abrams were Woodland camo

Did anyone ever buy from bcmini.com . They are a wholesaler for Japanese type erasers but they also wholecase cases of F-Toys, J-wings, etc. Cse price seem decent with a per piece price around $5. The downside is shipping cost and if you o0nly want 1 or 2 specific models you get stuck with a bunch y...

I saw Army Harleys last year but waited to long and missed them. I will have to check again. Thanks

The 1/48 Redtail P-51 and 109 are both nice little planes. Some WM here have P-51 and some have the 109, but I have not seen both at the same location. These are the only 2 released by BH Toys so far (not allgo)

Big Lots in Sharon PA did stock some PTE this week. They did have the Arctic sets. Not sure if any of the other items are new. Small building wall segment with a searchlight. Sand colored bunker wall. Patrol boat, little bird helicopter

The Hartmann 109 finally showed up here about a week ago. I only found it in the Walmarts that did not have the Redtail P-51. The WM that had the p-51 appear to have stocked more P-51s

Actually I have a 1/32 in the early stage that plan to offer built from the kit version 21st did and also just the mod parts for the modeling guys. No prices set in stone yet.[/quote]

Definitely interested in the 1/32 kit parts

Very nice pictures as usual

If BBI is using the Tamiya model as it basis there are 2 kits available that the decals and stencils could be copied. Model kits are 60306 or 60308. Schemes included are
WMFA 451 Warlords
VF 151 Vigilantes
VMFA 333 Fighting Shamrocks
VMF 232 Red Devils

I would like any of the Marines schemes

Great news. Any guess on timing?

Another WOW!!

Stopped at Ollies and they had an end cap and partial row of Minicraft models. They between $2.99 and $7.99. Some that I remember are
1/48
F4u-5
1/72
B-24L Cocky Bobby
PV-1 Ventura
1/144
USMC PBJ
B-26 Marauder
C-47 Dakota
Bf 110
He 111
Ju 88
Several commercial airliners

About a month ago the TM here each received 8 P-51 ShangriLa and 8 Red 19 FW190.
Grognard, if you want can check if any of the Pogo kits remain

The Goose was 1/48 and I believe 1/48 on the Pogo

Checked a Tuesday Morning near me . In addition to the models listed I also found a Grumman Goose aand a Convair Pogo VTOL

Thanks for the heads-up!

I was also in the dayton area (Monroe) this week. I will have to remember to look them up on my next trip.

Thanks for the heads up.
Stopped at 2 Tuesday Morning stores today. Both had 8 - P-51 and 8 - FW190. Picked up a couple of each to open or repaint

Thanks for the detailed review and pictures

No Hartmann 109 here yet. Probably because there still several of the "Redtail" p-51

Dear All

Just wonder how many of you really want to see a correct early war USN crew for your SBD-3?

Jim

I would want 3 sets.

I would probably get 3 sets also. 2 for sure for the Coral Sea and Midway SBDs and one for a future "Yellow Wing"

Looks good. I hope they sell well enough to prompt a "Yellow Wing" version
