Re: 1/18 Scale Horten Ho-229 Build. Pics 4-19

Matthew,
Dumb question...say I would like to pick up the 229 kit in the future. How long do you plan to produce these?

Beautiful work my man!

Re: Anybody getting FOV's 2011 1/16 Tiger 1?

Absolutely not. Pretty model, but I also have a 1/16 HL R/C Tiger, repainted with aftermarket parts at a fraction of this cost, that looks wonderful (tooting my own horn).

$250 price tag to $600???....exactly....WTF?????

Re: BBI F-16 price increase

$179.00 for a mold that's been around for how long? Now they're just pumping plastic. I want an F-16 after seeing them at OSAN AFB, believe me (I don't currently have one). But it's a tough pill to swallow. I was excited even at $150 with free shipping. Now we're approaching $200. And yes, I did pay...

I know Tman will disagree with me on this one :wink: Plane: 21C Me-262A. Absolutely incredible all around (if you got one that had no QA flaws like mine). The gear, pilot, cockpit, opening gun bays, slats, movable control surfaces and color scheme, the pinnacle of 21C's aircraft design. Again, like ...

Re: What was the worst item ever made?

My 21C P-40 has almost flown itself into the wall because of the horrible tail wheel design.

+1 regarding the SpotCat debacle.

Well, considering my favorite nose art has already been done (Catmouth Hellcat).

Probably, the Aleutian P-40E "Tiger". That is one great scheme!

Re: King Tiger on EBAY??

I disagree.

I'm a 1/18 aircraft guy, but have a few smatterings of armor. I'm pretty god-darned sure All-Go is watching this whole thing go down and it's pretty obvious from watching this thread and the auction, that the interest is there.

Re: King Tiger on EBAY??

But not the only example in a scale that's incredibly close. The A-10 doesn't have an "equal" (using an 1/18 piece as an example and the auction that was on Ebay several months ago).

I still think it's ludicrous

If All-Go does make the KT this year....Then cue the "Price is Right" losing music for the winner of this auction: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ytCEuuW2_A Then again, this auction is ridiculous in my opinion given that there are already a couple of examples in 1/16 (R/C no less) WAY BELOW this bid.

$630.99 at the present moment...REALLY????

I'd take a R/C Tamiya KT any friggin' day of the week at this price and have a helluva lot more fun building it, painting it, destroying the yard and terrorizing the neighbor's cat with it.
