Small Scale Military Headquarters

I would like several if you're going to go forward with a Hurricane. Never got the one I ordered from Skyworks:-((

Pm me to discuss further:)

Awesome execution and concept!! Fantastic!! Love it!!:))

From what I see I agree the gear stance looks upright on the pics we have seen so far. Hopefully it's just the photo angle or something. I ordered one from Germany today, hopefully it's a fairly fast delivery. Anyone hear or see any U.S. Sellers with in stock or delivery/shipping dates?

Which retailer did u get it from?

AUSGEZICHNET!!!!!!

If the S-1 ME-109 could be reworked with lowered flaps, the bays detailed up, the slats open/forward, the landing gear made static and detailed out, rework the cockpit and then get a DB engine kit from HPH, open the engine bay up and have some figures working on it with some ground equipment nearby,...

Axis, Why not try to accurize a couple of the 1/18 topics that bother you the most? None of my SWS or TAMIYA/Hasegawa/trumps etc... 1/32 models are anything but static. No moving gear or flaps, canopies etc. on some I've glued the prop in place because the plastic is too weak and breaks if u spin it...

Axis! Are u going over to the dark side? The rivet counters modeling society? (IPMS!) I understand what you are saying in all seriousness. Some of the execution on these 1/18 topics is on the toy side of things. That said, can you imagine how much a TAMIYA 1/18 P-38 KIT would cost?!?!!? I have quite...

Certainly the packaging and presentation raises hopes!! Strange how no U.S. Distributors are advertising it that I have found...

Well I just went to the warbirdmodelle site there are plenty of pics and my rusty German reads their header as saying approximately October 17 shipping date. Time will tell......

Is there an October Fools Day in Germany?!!? Ok bud, I sincerely hope that you aren't pulling our collective legs.....

I was wondering why you are letting this wonderful model go?

What are u needing specifically?

I don't have the personal expertise but a 1/18 metal, machined wing fold mechanism that achieves the proper dihedral when locked in flight position would be awesome for the Avenger!!! In my opinion it's only acceptable for display with the wings folded. When the wings are in flight position it just ...

It seems bad if your sales person was referring to a large Pre order of FW-190A's that's cancelled/suspended by merit:(

I meant to elaborate on something. This is a team build, I printed 3 prototypes so that I would have the first one to try my first guesses out on, a second to refine the ideas and a third as a backup. If the first attempt goes well then it will go out to another proven builder for more detailing and...

Will do! My main limitation now is time. I'm working out the Basic structural setup for the spar carry thru for the wings. Once that is done I will go to the tail and work there. The vertical fin will be molded separately so that a few choices can be offered. The forward section will have a part lin...

The fuselage is printed in ABS filament. It's really tough and takes a 60 grit paper to sand smooth. This process requires a lot of tired eyes staring at solid works and manually constructing the airplane in cad. There is zero surface detail and the ABS needs a lot of sanding to smooth out. If the s...

The 1/18 3D printed fuselage next to a 1/32 hasegawa fuselage

Ok 1/18 Skyhawk thread recharged!!!

It is in progress!!!

Not sure if I will be producing kits or just full builds. TBD. Help has been solicited and this will hopefully be a multi person effort!

Oh man!!! Sweet stuff!!!!!!

Way cool! I like the tan and brown variation in all the different places, really offsets the dark colors of the vehicle and pops the gear and details in the side racks! Sweet machine!

It would be very interesting to know what the metric for success on the Harrier was/is. Just the packaging alone on the Harrier had to be quite an expense, let alone the model itself. I would imagine the sales to the distributor network probably dictated the production run somewhat. I have no idea h...

Nice stuff Jay! The washes and weathering are really popping the detail on your birds!
