Small Scale Military Headquarters

Is there a database of the 1/48 planes that 21C produced? All the models, paint schemes, features, etc? I'm just curious about the landing gear, and if they had pilots, and maybe some good pictures and comparisons to their bigger brothers...

Selling my 1/32 Focke Wulf Dora "Black 1," to which I added the historically correct tail decals. I also drilled out the fuselage machine guns. Everything is complete, unbroken, and in great condition, and will be shipped in its original box. $35 (plus shipping) or best offer. http://i46.photobucket...

I'm glad they got to the Hellcat, but yeah, that price is about $50 more than the Dauntless, isn't it? And it doesn't come with the stand? I hope that price is adjusted, because I'd like to wait for additional paint schemes...

My reference book shows the Portuguese, Australian, and Republic of China P-38s are during the war, as is the New Zealand Corsair. Those are drawings, though.

There are French corsairs for their navy (50s), New Zealand, El Salvador in the 1950s, and different looking British corsairs for different theatres, if you don't mind repeating Royal Navy variants. There are plenty of P-38 choices, including Portugal, Australia, Honduras, and the Republic of China....

I wonder what it would take to get a bunch of those new canopies to modify all my existing 109Es in my collection...they really make a world of difference on that mold...

OK, here's an issue I noticed with the 21C version of this plane, that has popped up here: The fascist logo on the starboard wing is pointed the wrong way (the little "hooks" in the middle of the logo should face outward like on the port wing). So, does anyone have a real picture of this plane? Was ...

I thought 21C did do a 1/32 B-17 prototype, and sold it off ebay a few years ago. Or did it not meets its reserve?

They've got a store in Temple City, CA. They're basically two brothers with a ton of military and Star Wars items and an ancient website. If you called their store I'm sure they would have answered the phone.

I didn't have anything to do with this custom, but boy, I just had to share:

I've got an individually carded, unpainted 1/35 scale US airborne figure with an M1 carbine that was given out at Dragon Expo '04. Limited edition, only 600 pieces produced. It comes with a base, and was produced for the 60th anniversary of the Normandy campaign. If anyone is interested, I'll post a...

Thanks, I thought the person hadn't read it because it was still sitting in the outbox. I guess it was a chicken or the egg situation for me

I sent a private message, and for some reason it's been sitting in the outbox for days. Does it list it as "sent" only when the other person reads it? Or do I have to do something else?

I don't know why my message is still sitting in my outbox, and why it won't go out, but I am interested in purchasing some, if you could message me, please...

WGP Klaus, PM sent

I'm hoping to find some 1/32 parts:

1) A Corsair pitot tube (lost mine in a move).

2) Teardrop drop tanks for a Mustang (some models that aren't 21C had dual sets of these, and I'd love to replace the bigger paper tanks with this style).

Thanks!

Wow, really well done. What parts did you use?

I've got a Donnie Boy that I'd like to sell eventually. I was going to post it when I finally got a decent 1/32 replacement, but alas, that never came. And funny, unlike everyone else, I like the razorbacks more than the bubble canopies on the P-47, which is why I don't have a 21C 1/32 version of an...

Yeah, I just pulled them out and swapped them with no problem. That was super easy, no glue required!

How did you flip the stabilizers? Can it be done without having to glue anything? I didn't even know they were reversed, and now I 've got to fix them someday. Especially after I went through the trouble of fixing the balances on the wings...

I would go for a lighter grey. The BBI zero definitely didn't have any greenish tinge to it...

Interesting blurb about the model by the designer over at the Hyperscale boards: "And once again, suffered at the hands of pattern makers who ignored my explicit instructions and references and just converted a 1/32 Tamiya A6M5 with a new cowling. Of the many battles that I fought to make these coll...

The troughs for the fuselage machine guns on the cowling are definitely different, and even though both models come with the cannon tubes for the wings, you only are supposed to use them for the -3 model, if I'm not mistaken...

Wow, I totally missed your last post - yeah, it's still available. PM me and we'll sort out the details...

The pilots are removable, and you'll probably want to set them aside, because they aren't very detailed.
