Small Scale Military Headquarters

the dumas kit is 1/20 scale and there's another in 1/24 ....both do look a bit different from that model. I have no idea where he got the figures but they plus the detailing makes me believe it's 1/16. If you look at the build log pictures it looks larger than the dumas models to me. Could be a scam...

the details on this are outstanding. 5 feet long.

that B-17 is magnificent.....tremendous job, B-29!

Never mind, I figured out how to find it. I had to sign up first. They want $165 USD for it. I'll have to pass.

do they sell to the public? I thought they only sold to wholesalers. Can you post a link where I can buy one?

Indeed nice job. You could add the small rear view mirror above the windscreen. These were taken off automobiles and added at the unit level, as there was no factory installed rear view mirror at the time. While most Spitfires during the BoB had black spinners, this appears to be one of the exceptio...

it is indeed based on a real vehicle.

Anyone have one of these? It looks like it's based on a real vehicle, like most of PTE's stuff, but I don't know for sure what.

Too bad Power Team stuff is no longer available to buy

I usually remove tape about 1/2 hour after spraying, but I use paints that are fairly fast drying. I also use brown packaging tape for masking, instead of regular making tapes. It's super thin and that helps reduce ridges. Be warned not to leave it on too long though, after a few hours the glue will...

Two stunning models. Beautiful work.

thanks.........I was able to get my answer a while ago via another forum's review of the 2 figures. There are some differences between the 2 figures, both cosmetic and of more practical concern. The AVP Queen comes more fully assembled and has different colouration that I preferred so I ended up get...

3 sqn RAAF operated the P-51d from November '44 until the end of the war in Italy and I think Yugoslavia too. I don't think 77 sqn saw any action during WWII with the P-51d.

I regret not getting the 3 sqn model back in the day.

that's the maultier, I think the vehicle in the photo is the SWS halftrack.

almost, I think it's the panzerwerfer 42 on the SWS halftrack., going by what I can see of the road wheels.

PH, I thought it was a nebel on a panzer iv too at first but upon inspection ii think it's the back end of a panzerwerfer 42 mounted on SWS halftrack.

it's the rear end of a panzerwerfer 42 on an SWS isn't it? Dumb.

caption says its a Sherman calliope, which it isn't, but what is it? I feel I should know but I don't.

woulda fooled me...

am I imagining things or is the barrel in that photo much shorter than a panther's normal barrel? Did the germans crop it?

wow those both look magnificent.

that Panzer IV is worth a bundle,.

A couple of beauties. I wish i'd picked them up back in the day. Way above my pay grade now.

since there's been so much interest in this topic, lol, I figured i'd update it with my findings. Most all of the large Bruder vehicles are about 1/16.8 scale. The really large Volvo truck I mentioned above is 1/18.4 scale and the smaller Bruder vehicles are 1/16. Bruder has made a variety of figure...

i'm very tempted to get both the M198 and sFH 18 in 1/16 scale. Does anyone have any pics they can post of either of the 1/16 guns built up, with 1/18 figures beside them? I'm afraid they will look like children manning the guns...

There are many other videos on Youtube of different types of RC bridge layer tanks in 1/16.

Thanks Tman. That's a surprise. The Joy Toy figures are listed as 4.13 inches tall, so i figured they would be the larger of the two brands

Looks like fun.
