Small Scale Military Headquarters

I was curious about the whys & wherefores of Zimmerit - Why the Germans used it & the allies did not...Here's an article I found that somewhat addresses this issue: Quote ZIMMERIT: by Donald Spalding Production and Application Methods From: AFV NEWS, Jan-Apr/1983 issue This information is from a sec...

for that kind of money you can get the whole plane: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=28214 http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=22867 sign up for an account before you buy (you'll have to to check out anyway) and you'll save about $15 ...

Aferg, to me it would be worth it...It is the only naval vessel I have, and I only got it because of the Doolittle tie-in. It is a really nice model, though it is very simplistic - No rigging of any type, really not much detail on the carrier...But the B25s, considering their tiny size, are amazingl...

A used BBI 1/32 scale Phantom just sold on ebay for $250 - 22 bids!
Guessing the new one coming out next spring will be a hot seller! Maybe, after that one sells out, we'll get a Viet Nam version...

I want one...Thank goodness I have neither the funds to purchase or a place to display it!

Cool 8) If we ran another poll the P-38 would probably win as the most desired 1:32 WWII pre-built fighter that hasn't been made yet. What happened to our hopes of seeing 1:32 warplanes being made again? :( Agree...Of course, if 21st Century had built the P38's in 1/32, instead of 1/18, then I'd wa...

Wow, never saw the T72...Impressive!

Now, that is amazing...Impractical, maybe, but what an engineering feat that would have been!

http://blogs.browardpalmbeach.com/pulp/meh-cat.jpg Wow, didn't expect such a negative reaction...But, glad I posted anyway, just in case someone is interested. With few exceptions these days, especially if you missed the "golden days" of 18th scale collecting, you've got to "pay to play"... You kno...

Look , I've seen these go on eBay for over $200, so for me, yes, it was a good price... Just thought I would mention the BadCat special in case anyone, like me, needed to fill a few holes, at a reasonable price, at least reasonable to me. Guess it really depends on how bad you want it and what you c...

Just picked up a BBI 1/18th Cripes a Mighty from Bad Cat - $149.00 plus $19.99 shipping...
They got the majority of 21st & BBI on sale for good prices - really good prices...
Check it out.

Granch, the "Red Devils" gear is pretty solid & it's been displayed, gear down, for the last couple of years... However, my "Golden Dragons", "Marauders" and "Jolly Rogers" are all leaning heavily! So far (3-4 weeks), the "Sidewinders" version looks good. Only time will tell. My biggest concern with...

I hope this helps some of you out. I started working on a new set of F18 rear landing gear. My goal it to get these cast in metal similiar to the F14 gear. http://imageshack.us/a/img593/584/photoebo.jpg . Kroll was kind enough to send me his F18 gear and a set of skyworks F14 to recast. Hopefully I...

BOOM!

Might (or might not) be switched. Back in the Walmart/21st days, I once bought a "Winter" 109E (1/18th), that was in an F86 box...I can't prove it was a factory "goof", but it was a perfect fit, the tape on the ends was in pristine condition...I still believe it came from the factory that way! I'm j...

Biggest issue, to me, on the BBI 109 is the tail wheel...I believe the 21st 109 is closer to reality. Looking through Squdran/Signal Publication's "Messserschmitt BF 109 In Action" (1057), every single tail wheel shown from the BF109F-1 through the BF109 K-4 is way closer to the 21st version than th...

Looks real to me!

Amazing!

Exactly right on the F16 ordinance...Big difference between the "Wolfpack" and the second version!
I know it's wishful thinking on the F18 main gear...

Finally put my new "Sidewinders" on display...So far the main gear looks strong, but only time, IMO, will tell... When I look at how my Golden Dragons', Marauders' & Jolly Rogers' main gear sags, I can only hope that the Sidewinders' mains hold up as well as my Red Devils' has! I know we've kicked t...

I agree, this is great news for 1/18th scale collectors...Kudos to both Merit and BBI for their efforts & commitment to "our" scale!

Got mine from Foxhole Toys for $8.99 each (Bought 6).

Thanks, Tman...Should have repainted their helmets before I put them in...Oh well.

Thanks, Beeavision - That did the trick...Just needed to know someone did it successfully before I got too brave!
Love this forum!

Do you think it is available in a size 11C?
