Wanting to make 1:18th scale aircraft/armor weapons packs ..

Post by reedleyxd » Mon Aug 27, 2007 10:51 pm

Detail sets/weapons packs. I have the ability to make almost anything in this scale. Please post what is most wanted by all of you so I can focus on what needs to be made first. Thanks!

Hey reedleyxd :D Haven't seen you around here for a while! Good to have the other boardmember from my area back on board! Not too much interesting stuff to be had in our area, though if you've been out of collecting for a while, you may want to give the Sanger Wal Mart and the Clovis TRU a visit :wink:

More input needed please!

Post by reedleyxd » Tue Aug 28, 2007 11:25 pm

I have a manufacturer in China, A master modeller in the U.S., and a resin manufacturer in Cali, so I just need to know what will be commercially viable and wanted! Thanks for the input.

I thought about making rm4 rocket pods for the Admiral 262 or the 21c 262 first. Please let me know.

Although they've been done by BBi, one I'd do is a set of AMRAAMs to either equip a fighter or to make a SL AMRAAM Humvee. Even better, how about some UAVs?

I've spoken with reedleyXD in person about this and he is indeed serious and has my support :D The R4M rocket pods would be a great start, as would ordinance for the BBI jets. I'd be down for both!

I'd be up for.....

LGBs, JDAMs, AMRAAMs, HARMs, Sparrows, Sidewinders, AN/AAS-38 Nite Hawk TFLIR (f18), AN/AAQ-13 and AN/AAQ-14 LANTIRN (f16), Snakeyes and any other modern weapons & nav/targeting/jamming systems you care to mention.

Not to mention the ejector racks and hardpoints.

Basically anything and everything in the 1/48th scale Hasegawa - Aircraft Weapons Sets.

Also as stated above talk to MiG29K or wolf8564 as both have alraedy made excellent masters of many of the stuff that I have mentioned above that would be ideal to use asmasters for casting in resin.

Oh yeah and while you are at it, some .50 & .30 cal and 7.62 ammo cans , belts and feed belts would be very handy, not to mention some spade grip M60s and mounts for Huey gunners and a XM-21 Armament kit like Birddog made.

Ordinance loadouts, without a doubt! My poor F-16 and F/A-18 have been stuck on the same mission forever--it's like Groundhog Day for the poor pilots... Same goes for some alternative (or removable) armaments for the Apache (and Blackhawk)!

Taking notes.

Post by reedleyxd » Thu Aug 30, 2007 3:44 am

I hear you all. I am taking notes and will be conferring with my modeller. I will indeed contact the above mentioned members for their advice and for possable use of their masters for a mold. Thank you all for the input. The next step would be for the board to sign up so we can see a financial viability for each project. This may take a little time to develop fully. The more votes, the faster an individual project gets done. Sound fair?

I voted for weapons packs, but honestly I'd probably buy any of it...

What kind of things did you have in mind for any of the 3 though? Some examples would be interesting to hear.

I'd buy pretty much any of the 3 though... If it's 1:18 I usually want a lot of it.

Looks like we will be starting with...

Post by reedleyxd » Wed Sep 05, 2007 9:53 pm

The underwing mods first. Like the RM4 rockets for the various ME-262 models out there. Then go to the US 1:18th scale Modern stores, and then to armor add ons. But, will you guys buy it?? This will not be free of course. I want it to be fair, and to cover expenses and for some extra to further development of the import pipeline. Thoughts??

As long as the quality is there and the prices are reasonable, then you will have a buyer in me.

Just a question, do you intend on offering finished goods or will be offering raw resin kits like most after market stuff for model kits, I'd be happy with either, but some may be more interested in being able to hang the extras straight out of the box.

Finished products are being discussed.

Post by reedleyxd » Fri Sep 07, 2007 6:09 pm

If we can keep the prices down then they will be finished, if not then it will be unfinished to reduce price. More later.
