Small Scale Military Headquarters

.....I have NIB 1/6 scale R/C HUMVEEs that I am willing to trade one of for the LANTIRN pod, and a couple NIB Atlantic Avengers. I have quite a few aircraft I would trade for this part, so if you have a LANTIRN pod to part with, let me know what you may be looking for.... chances are I've got it! -Rob

Hey Gang, I'm sure its a long shot, but a shot worth taking any way.... If anyone who has purchased the "Black Knights" F-14 would consider selling the LANTIRN pod that was included in the new weapons load, I will pay top dollar for this particular part if you would like to sell it. Just drop me a P...

Beautiful work mcaulk.... your attention to detail is phenomenal. I am slowly working on my D model conversion, and let me say, your work is very inspiring. Keep those pics coming! Btw, I see you made the trip to see AJ 110 over at RIC! Good reference material there. LMK if you need anymore pics... ...

Just wanted to say thank you to cranedriver for an absolutely flawless transaction! It was a pleasure dealing with you Daniel!

Hey Jack,

Are your landing gear sprung like the ones that come on the F-14, or are they stationary? They look absolutely marvelous....much more hefty, like the real ones. Nice work!

-Rob

Good stuff guys! Its nice to see something a bit different, not to mention the fact that these are custom pieces too. Very nice work!

-Rob

That is quite cool... gotta get one of those.

That is one evil looking thing.

-Rob

Chalk one for no issues here... my 'Cat arrived in pristine condition. Minus the spots, of course.

I absolutely love this model. Looking forward to JSI's future releases, for sure.

-Rob

WOW.....that is one beautiful 'Cat. Nice work!

Andy! How 'ya been man? Its great to hear from you! Are you and the girls all settled in down there in beautiful AL? Hows the "Man Cave" coming along?

I'm hoping to make it down your way this summer to visit family, so I will keep you posted! Tell everyone I said Hi!:D

-Rob

Hey gang, just wanted to say a quick hello, and let everyone know that I will be around a bit more since my 1/18 fire has been rekindled. How is that you ask? Well, I have always been partial to the modern aircraft side of 1/18. The one 1/18 A/C I thought I would never see, and my most favorite A/C ...

Hey gang, back from the dead here. The difference in the mechanical workings of the two Humvees is decided by the color you choose, either Desert Sand or O.D. I bought quite a few of these things years ago, and quickly found that the OD version handles far better due to the central placement of the ...

I have disassembled two of my Blackhawks for conversion projects and yes, the fuselages are screwed AND glued together. The best way I have found to separate the two halves is to first remove all of the screw hole plugs. Then, using a large phillips precision screw driver, remove all of the screws s...

Hey Matt, that fuel probe looks fantastic! These are really going to make the Pavehawk look like a Pavehawk. Really fine work. I thought I would bounce one more idea off of you, as if you didn't have enough to do with the Pavehawk project. How about a more realistic set of main gear wheels? As you ...

tankduel wrote:USCGSARdog I did a recon of 7 stores today and only found 1 helo so thats a keeper but I'll still keep an eye out for you. The fuselage length is 50 cm or 19 and a half inches. I'll put up some pics soon.

Sounds good. Again, thank you for your help!

Thanks Nev, I really appreciate your efforts. I can't wait to get my paws on one of these helos!

-Rob

Outstanding!

I am certainly looking forward to the Pavehawk kit, it is long over due. Things seem to be progressing well and I can't wait to see a few mock-up pics. Put me down for a full kit. Speaking of a Huey stretch kit, something I have always wanted was a UH-1N to go along with my Cobras. Many of the parts...

Damn, I need to learn to type faster.

-Rob

Not to break your bubble buy R/C helos are one of the hardest things to learn how to fly. 3 times harder than regular R/C aircraft. Thats an understatement! I am messing with a coaxial trainer right now, while not too bad, can be rather frustrating at times. Check out this link, http://runryder.com...

Afergs description is pretty accurate. As for the texture of the foam, I have found that light weight spackle in built up skim coats hides it well. Lightly sand between coats and you're good to go. If you decide to make parts for the GWS A-10, everything Birddog mentioned would be necessary, and I w...

aferg sold me on the GWS A-10 a while back. It really is worth the $40 even if you have to do a little work to get it looking "right". Its lines, dimensions and proportions look almost dead on. The biggest flaw I see is that the engine nacelle pylons on the model are mounted at 90 degrees to the fus...

Wow, is that a 1/18 scale bbi 60 or a 1/35 scale model? Man I love custom helos, wish I could find time to finish my 1/18 MH-60T .

Nice looking DAP Hawk. (How bout a few more pics?)

-Rob

Matt- Count me in for a Pavehawk upgrade kit. I may be able to help with some reference material too. BTW, anyone know whats up with the nav lights on the doghouse of that 60 in Coreys pics? Don't think I have ever seen that setup before. http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-confused005.gif -Rob
