Re: SCAM ALERT

Sorry to hear about this Bigsarge Hopefully its just the customs delay and he'll get the item in less then a week. By opening a pp dispute, this has to be resolved in a week's timeline? Doesn't give you much leeway or time to let this sort thru. It would've been nice if Paypal is able to disclose wh...

Re: Just About Priced Me Out of the 1:72 Scale Market

Totally agree with everyone here especially Tparkhere, I collect planes and armor and I now make the very same comparisons and think planes gives a better bang for the buck, though planes are also rising in costs by the same margins too I'm so regretting not getting more Dragon Armors before my loca...

Re: You decide 1:18 AH-1W SuperCobra paintjob.

Voted for the regular green if you're really intent on giving it a new paintjob, tiger stripe is just a bullet magnet

Would you consider an Ocktober Guard Scheme? kinda painted like a Hind? That'd be the new post cold-war lend/lease arrangement to fight Cobra :lol:

Or you can get one now and wait for the 2nd to go on sale. I always find myself ...

Re: Noticeable difference between 1/72 and 1/80 scale F-14s?

It may not be that noticeable if you stagger your display pieces, maybe camouflage a little bit by displaying on its own or with other planes other then a 1/72 F-14, or play around with depth/height perspective. This scheme might not be done by 1/72 manufacturers for a long time (maybe Witty might?)...

Snake is right, just be patient, HM will eventually release more Helldivers with the closed flap due to demand sooner then later. There are plenty of releases every month, sometimes to many to much, so waiting is not really that bad when there's plenty others to spend money on in between. :lol: I wa...
