FOUND THE GEORGE W. BUSH PLANE! It seems I was right. Those links were not to the Bush plane, but instead, the Bunker Hill, and a Midway Island plane. Here is a link to the George W.

Re: NEW AVENGERS FROM CHINA??!!!!!!

Anyone read this about the light colored one that is supposed to be George W Bush marked, which isn't listed below anywhere. This TBF-1, marked as 8-T-1, is the sole surviving aircraft from Torpedo Squadron 8's (VT-8) attack on the Japanese fleet at the Battle of Midway on June 4, 1942. It was flown...

Re: Crazy prices

I completely agree with you about the Blue Angels junker plane. I own every 1:18, and even had that one through a purchase, but gad, it was so dang ugly and poorly done, I dumped it. I would rather not look at it. I considered a repaint to fix it, but passed. Something seemed wrong, like it was lack...

Re: Holy Grail found....

I just picked up the two rare P51s he has at 700 for $750 as a pair, and I felt that was nuts, but I was only missing three planes, and these were two of them. This guy's prices are somewhat nutty. Not far off in some cases, but some are whacked. The two for $700 each are definitely expensive, but I...

I would definitely be down for hearing the prices for these: DC-3 - OH YES! B-17 (What was the cost on the HPH nose again? I can't remember, but I thought of that same thing when I first saw it). B-24 The props, canopy, landing gear, all would be a pain unfortunately. I think I would beg Pickel to m...

Re: Panzer IV Lower Hull

I was just thinking about trying to do the same dang thing off one of the ones that came smashed to bits, lol. I thought I could get most of the hull, but the wheels would be a pain, since they bit the dust in the UPS crusher.

Let us know what you think the cost might work out to be.

Great work on those shelves! In the second or third to the last post, your design has the two very skinny posts (in back), with the planes heavily exposed for viewing. How are they stabilized?

Re: 1/18 F-14 Tomcat re-release?

I believe the confusion was caused by a recent email that went out from a seller that had a rather vague statement about a new pre-order F-14 Tomcat of only 1000 pieces being released soon (December 2016). As far as I could tell, it was for a 1:72 scale F-14, and had nothing to do with 1:18. This is...

I am interested in the Sturmtiger! Can we vote on that one? If not, I want to vote for the Stug first, and second the SU-85 or SU-100 (CanberraPaul-great idea!). But if you could, please consider the Sturmtiger! It is way cool, especially with the below paint scheme. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fi...
