Small Scale Military Headquarters

dam, did it again. Placed my response within the quoted post!!! Some just don't learn, sigh.

"tko211 wrote 1:18 scale wings project. On one hand fans will be like yeah, we know. On another hand fans will be like WOW! Just didn't see that coming! Let me say this. Even with my postion as Fan Club President, I didn't see this coming! It should really take people by surprise. Coolness factor i...

Hmm, yeh, he did say something about a big splash. Riverine, anyone.

Wow!!! Just received my shipping notice for "Huff" from Batcat!!!!

I honestly don't think it's a 262 coz we've been expecting one from 21st for awhile. TKO basically said this new plane caught him by surprise so I think it's something different. A Hellcat or Wildcat maybe??? Macchi?? Can't wait to see! :D Wildcat, yeah!!! Dauntless, yeah!!! A-10 Yeah!!! 'ell, anyt...

does a King Tiger have wings ? :lol: :lol: :lol: Anyway, I wonder what it will be :D phil Hmm...good point. IIRC, two of the new tanker figures are nicknamed "Preacher" and "Scribe". Someone earlier suggested this might point to the release of the M-7 Priest. The new figures are starting to show up.

Why, on our heads, so they can blow us away!!

Since the nose section of the 262 was completely interchangable I also thought this might be a good idea. However, the first problem you run into is paint. Are you going to have every version wearing the same scheme? The second is fit and finish. At this scale the seam should be nearly invisible. K...

Anything new is. of course, most welcome. Please bear with me while I fantasize for a moment. What if 21c thought ahead with their 262. By molding the fusilauge to allow modular nose's they can offer us the following: V-056, single place night fighter V-083, single place 50mm armed A-2a/U2 two place...

hmm....in light of what TKO said i will guess: Me 262 Nightfighter version....we know it's coming out but assumed the day fighter version like Admiral just put out. But maybe 21c tweeked it in light of AT's release preceeding theirs. I just don't know about the repaint potential for it is all...tha...

More info on the dozer here.

There's a WWII era dozer in 1/16, metal including tracks, in US Army markings located here>

There's a series of 3 pictorial books called "The Forgotten War" by, I believe, Ben Cohen, that covers the war effort in Alaska. They're about 15 dollars each. Might be a good source.

There was someone here who was developing after market ordinance for these. He was asking for any interest. He seem to get quite a bit, including from me. Has anyone heard from him on this since? Might be a possible solution.

Just found this, might be a little large, but it looks pretty close.

Gentlemen, In no shape or forum was I directing any of the comments towards you. :oops: I was not being defensive. I am just kicking myself for not including instructions for the opening of the landing gear door. Both of you have been more then generous in the support of this model and we greatly a...

Here are my suggestions for the front landing gear. 1. We did not want to sacrifice detail and make the strut oversized. The ME 262 had a thin front landing gear, and we think it looks better nice and thin. 2. The door that attaches to the strut is connected by two screws. This is one of the strong...

While it is pleasant to be quoted in a site like BCA's, especially about something as fine as the Me-262, the last line "The experts have spoken". Wow, BCA calls me an "expert"? :roll: With my entire air-force consisting of one other plane and a helo. I am impressed. If I'm an "expert", what do the...

Oops, stuck my post in the middle of the above quote. Here it is by itself. If you do decide to start on 1/16 there are several vehicles not available in 1/18: Jeep "calliope" rocket launcher Chevy RAF fire engine Chevy US Army fire engine (very rare) Ford USN Ford Island stakeside USMC GMC dumptruc...

..did you buy a t34 yet? the 1/16 t34 is almost the same size as the xd tiger whereas it should be noticebly smaller and just slightly bigger than the bulldog. It really looks way too big to fit in with xd in my opinion but i am a stickler for scale. (the size difference between 1/16 and 1/18 is gr...

OK, Badcat called. The PakWagen won't be available until next year. Sigh, however my me-262 shipped out today from them, so it's all good.

But I think the pre-order or "early" prices on the others was $35 too so maybe it is coming soon. Would be nice if it was in stock and $35 with free shipping. :D Shipping for me was shown as $9.99, but I know better than to expect free where I'm at. $9.99 is a big bonus and one of the reasons BC ha...

Yeah, I noticed the price too. But BC has pleasantly surprised me before.

From Badcat: Introducing the Sdkfz. 251/22 Ausf. D with 7.5cm Pak 40 anti tank cannon. It seems that 21st Century Toys just couldn’t resist combining these two awesome products to create this historical variant! The Pak-40 Hanomag will be the fourth and final version of the famous German Halftrack ...
