Small Scale Military Headquarters

I am in the process of acquiring a 3D computer printed M-230 30mm Cannon to replace the BBI one. (Neither of the Apache donors that I have, came with one :( It will NOT be cheap by any means). it has to be done though. I am expecting the Radome from Pickelhaube in either this weekend or next week. I...

Pizzaguy,
Paypal payment sent this morning with shipping info.
I have a question for you. Would this material be used to print out the front sensors for the BBI Apache? Just curious, as I am detailing on of them.
Thanks in advance,
Jack

The information provided here is certainly helpful. Thank you all for it! Now I need to develop the information that I need for my needs. I need a couple of sets of decals for 4 Projects that I am working on.

I would like to see someone produce custom decals like you do. Someone out there knows how to, I am sure.

tman, I have purchased another BBI Apache for parts and am thinking of tackling some, if not all of the changes needed. Seeing how I have two complete canopies, that might make that task more "doable" than not having two of them to work with. I am not sure what the side panels are called on both sid...

tman, I had a similar experience with trying to order from M&C Toy Centre like you did and nothing came of it like you did. I wish that werent the case as they do have a lot of nice stuff. I am placing an order with Marauder this week, for the first time. I am sure that I will have a much better tim...

LOL I understand your feeling on the tiny Photo-etch parts, as I just lost the Bipod legs of two Printed M-60's while washing a group of detail parts, before painting them. I have learned that valuable lesson the hard way! I have to LOL or I'd lose what little bit is left of my mind. LOL

Whenever I have used them in the past, I always applied the curved/contoured ones on by aligning the flat or straight edges to the canopy first. They will fit perfectly to the curved/contoured areas once you do that. I hope that this advice helps.

PM sent as requested.

Pizzaguy, I have checked my settings and have tried to change them, to no avail. I have tried logging out, then logging in. I have made the changes and then logged out and then again logged. Still the changes have not taken effect. I have no idea what to do about this.

Matthew, per our conversation, I want the Blackhawk to be an Army version. PM sent.

If these are still available, I would need 2 of them completed, if that is possible. PM sent.

Tman, I really appreciate your information on this. I am NO authority on this by any means and am very happy to have anyone in the "Know" of these A/C to point me in the right direction. I had no idea about the differences between the 64A and the D Longbow. I did know about the wrong side of the coc...

I will be ordering one of the Pickelhaube Longbow Radomes, for the beginning of this conversion/detailing of the AH-64. I know that there must be a lot of details that can be added to this but don't really know where to start. I have looked at photos and have seen antennas, sensors, etc. I figured I...

This is great news! I hope that we get to see this at airshows all over. Thanks for posting about this!
The above reply was posted in regards to the F-82 thread. How the heck it got onto thus one is waay beyond me!

Being relatively new to 1/18th scale, I am very excited to see anything new being produced these days. It is always good to see new subjects being produced!

I understand custom made and painted would increase the value some, but $4,000.00? This is just not fir me. I believe these to be way over priced. At least for my tastes. Don't get me wrong, they are very nice looking Tomcats.

That is one really nice Cobra! I am happy to hear that you are able to crew both of yours. I know that is not easy to find the right figures when you are in need of them. Thanks for sharing the photos with us.

Merry Christmas Matthew! Thank you for the reply. I found a pic and here it is:

Would anyone have a spare that they would be willing to sell? I need one to replace the one that came on top of the M-48 Patton Cupola. The M2 .50, I can replace, the cradle what I am not really able to find. If you know where I could get one, I would really appreciate it!
Many Thanks,
Jack

Thank you Sir! I really appreciate the info, I'll look into getting these items together for my M-113.
Thanks again!

Thank you for the information on this. I have found some stowage items on E-bay and will look for the Build A Rama ammunition cans. I ordered the rear fenders and the spare road wheel that you used on your M-113. The fencing that you want to add, was indeed for protection. It was erected around the ...

Tman, Can you fill me in on the barbed wire that you used and the rest of the stowage? Like the 20mm ammo cans, smoke grenades, etc? Thanks in advance!

My M-113 arrived this past Sunday. The stowage had already been stripped off of it and a couple of them were included with the APC, along with a couple of the tools. I have a complete set of tools, so they will not be an issue. I filled in all of the holes on the upper hull, both sides and front and...
