Re: 1/18th Jagdpanther Rebooted !!!

Matthew, the Jagdpanther carried an 88 gun like the Tiger II had. The Panther 75 would look to small on it.

Re: Just saw the Movie "Fury" (Added Photos and description)

I would recommend the bible of Sherman information: R.P. Hunnicutt's, Sherman: A History of the American Medium Tank. It is expensive and maybe hard to find. But you may find it at your local library or library exchange program..

Re: What is in the future of our Beloved 1/8th Scale

I am sticking with 1/18 for many of the reasons already posted by others. I have enough project to keep me busy. I have a few more ideas that need some Sherman part from Mat in the future also. One last reason for myself is I like it that my AFVs, Planes and Automobiles are in the same scale. Even i...

Total Soldier Pilot figure.

I don't know if this figure has been discussed before. I picked one up at Walmart the other day. Is it close to being a decent represntation of a Jet Pilot for my F16 ? It is the bottom figure in the group shot of this Ebay auction. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Army-Toys-Tonka-Peacemaker-Tanks-Total-Sold...

Interesting find at Hobby Lobby.

I picked up a Bi winged plane yesterday at Hobby Lobby. It was in their discount isle. Originally $349.00, I paid $34.00 for it. I think it looks pretty good, especially since it is for decorating and not considered a toy or model. This link should take you to an Ebay auction that is selling an iden...

Re: 1/18th Jagdtiger Buyers Input Needed !!! !!

Matthew, I originally voted for doing the cutting myself. However I find my sitiation has changed. I would rather pay the $35. and have you lengthen the hull. Say the word and will have the money headed your way.

Thanks.
