Yes I got the pilot out of my Macchi. It is not easy, and it kind of lifted the windscreen up, but you can push it back down. The problem with mine was the pilots arms. One was lifted up and it was stuck on the instument panel. I pushed his arms down with a pencil, and then pulled him out of the coc...

Natural metal finish

I would like to learn how to get a nice natural metal finish on a model plane. I have an 1/18th scale P-51 that I removed all the paint off of. I love the look of Mustangs with the shiny natural metal finish. Does anyone know how to duplicate this on a model? Thanks :D

Oh yes, a Typhoon would be some cool. It is a massive airplane, and at 1/18h scale it would look great. Count me in! :D

When I got my original release of the 21st Century Corsair all three prop blades were bent forward. I don't what the deal is with these props, but it really does take away from the look of the model.

How about a 1/18th scale P-39 Airacobra?

I would love to see a 1/18th scale P-39 Airacobra. I love the lines of that plane with its rear engine. I would really like to see one in a Russian paint scheme. What do you think?

Will we see any 1/32nd scale twin engines?

Does anyone think we will see any 1/32nd scale twins from 21st Century Toys? I would like to see a P-38, Mosquito, or a ME-110. What do you think?

My F-86 had a couple of broken main gear doors. I contacted Admiral and asked how I could get some more doors. They sent me a whole wing. I didn't ask for that, but it was nice of them to do that.

My F-86 had two broken main landing gear doors when I took it out of the box. I sent an email to Admiral on Tuesday, and on Friday I got a replacement wing from them. They even sent me two drop tanks as one of mine was split. It is great to see this kind of customer service. Thanks Admiral. :D

I am a big P-51 fan myself. I have The Flying Undertaker coming in nest week. I am so glad they got the landing gear right. The Mustang is one airplane that looks as good on the ground as it does in the air.

Great customer service :)

I got my Admiral F-86 on Tuesday, and it had a couple of broken parts. The main landing gear doors were broken off, and one of the drop tanks was split. I sent Admiral an email that day, and today I got a whole new wing and two drop tanks from Admiral. That is wonderful customer service. Thanks Admi...

I just got my F-86 in. It is a great looking plane. It really captures the look of the F-86. Both of the large doors on the main gear were broken in the box. The little pins on both ends of the doors were broken, and I found one door loose in the box. Both of the drop tanks were not put together wel...

Anyone think we will see a 1:18th scale F4F Wildcat? That would be great, and with its unique landing gear it would look nice.
