Small Scale Military Headquarters

This would be a better choice than offering the FW-190 "Red 19" It's a great mold but there is a glut of them on the secondary market. While the "Shangri La" is a winner, the "Red 19" will compete with a 21stC plane that's easy to find even now, and available at equal to or a better price than the ...

Great news on AllGo still alive and kicking. Too bad on the repaints though. I will pass on both as already have 2 extra Shangri-la and umpteen "red 19" stacked in closet for customs. Seems a new scheme or possibly the Spit that was never released from years ago, would have been good to launch a res...

Not slamming Skyworks, but I also have no interest in the A-10 or any other of their products. But, unlike Admiral, they do actually release products instead of just announce them. In due time I am sure they will release info on this project.

Well, it appears the news regarding re-releases is not overwhelming us at the moment. I can't really say I am surprised.

You can't even get the F-4 anymore for it's original price. I got one for $49. It's above $100 or more now on the secondary market. There's plenty of re-paints that could be done on the F4 also. Even a re-release of it would sell because you can't get them at a reasonable price. Is BBI finally gett...

Made me go to the stash pile to check Harry. They did indeed make the 1/48 Shangri-La.

Funny sometimes how the price fluxuates on these planes. Just depends on folks spending moods at the time I guess. I have also noticed lately how many of the 21st planes have been bid on very high by bidders with -0- or very little feedback history. Why would E-bay newbie's bid so high without a his...

Would have got lots more activity if it had not got pulled off. Nice scheme.

BTW, if I were All-Go what I'd do is resurrect the 1:32 scale line. So many great tools there. Test the waters there with some more limited production runs and some new schemes. I agree on 1:32 marketing. Great potetial. On the 1:18 side, with All-Go lost, Admiral history and BBI AWOL, I expect zer...

Perhaps they are replacement gear he purchased for 69.99 and he didn't want the money wasted.

Awesome work Pickel !!! You are indeed turning into a master craftsman.
Thanks for posting pictures as I enjoy watching your projects.

I would be down for an A7. If done right, maybe several for customs.

Pass on the A-10 and F8 as I have zero interest in either in any scheme.

Perhaps we will be told they were heisted.

it was about ALLGONE and thier failed promisses and stupid decisions I agree. With All-Go starting to resemble Admiral, it is hard for me to maintain any interest in their company. I have zero interest in an A-10 regardless of how it gets manufactured, so not a lot of support to All-Go from me with...

Saw that this morning. Have you got the grin off yet. Good for you Harry.

Wow. I got 4 of these at a small town Wal-Mart clearanced for $25.00 apiece few years back. May have to re-think custom repainting them now. Good day for the Seller on this listing!!!

Just saw on customs page. Disregard 14guy. Great photos.

There are some good folks on this board, Pickelhaube is a good guy. I bet good prevails and they turn up soon.

Jericho, I think Admirals silence basically says exactly that.

By the looks of this poll, there are 48 people that would. You have to keep in mind that is has constantly been pointed out to us that this board represents a very small percentage of the entire 1/18 market. So there could be very many more that would. It's probably not that unrealistic. Birddog th...

Battle damage..exactly
Gouchy, outside of custom work to fill the void, this hobby has gotten as interesting as a 2 week vacation with my mother-in-law .

They and JSI may have burned many bridges with the S1 and with the surprise "improved" Black Knights seems to be mooning you on the far bank to add insult to injury.

That is not the "Hey your #1" finger many are waving back at them with.

previously listed at $350 but no takers Might have to do with fact that it is listed as shoddy paint, loose joints, decals, and the minor fact the prop is broke. :roll: The fact it is listed as the 1st of 4 in a series is the usual garbage dumped on the market by companies lately. All-Go & Admiral ...

Huey looks great , but i will have to get me a JU-87 "DRIVE BOMBER" to go along with the P-38, P-40 and F4U "FLIGHTERS".

On that note: the Tender Terror is on perma-hold.

Wow. That would be a hoot on the board if that topic came up. I would have to go get the popcorn.
