Re: Choose The Next WW2 Full Build

I will buy any of these that were built except for the Tropical Spitfire. Would I love a Do-335 Hell YES! but is it insane in 1/18? maybe.... But if its not then why not throw in other similar size highly coveted aircraft like the Me-110 or B-25 or my all time favorite the He-219! The Do-335 may win...

No, its correct. The 109 E-7 had the nose pluged but the tip is more rounded, his looks almost sharp.

Over all ist pretty cool. The buyer is reselling...

In addition to those, I would like to see a Sturmovik. I agree! we have still never had a soviet offering of anything in 1/18!!! Thats hard to swallow but its true! No armor, No aircraft, nothing! nothing soviet! Only the T-34 Pickel put out and my repaints of a P-40 and a Spitfire in soviet markin...

Re: Why is the JSI Adolf Gallan BF-109 a poor selling item?

I understand being tired of the same planes and especially the same paint schemes. I have been buggy the powers to be to make a F4 Wildcat with plug in wheels and price it under $95. and make 4 color schemes at the same time. I think it would bring excitement and the price point would be a winner. ...

Re: 1/18 Custom Midway Avenger

My Avenger is the only one to make it back to Midway island, is was very shot up. Rear turret gunner dead. I think the pilot got the distiguished flying cross. Yes without those coming in first and pulling all those zeros to ground level things may have been very differant that day. http://ww2db.com...

Yea I hear you, the two tone grey paint looks bad and is very wrong. I just really hope that when and if we ever see their Fw-190a it is painted well enough to say they did their homework.

It has been done before.

The pannel line are insane on the Merit version, it looks lik...
