Small Scale Military Headquarters

Well, not knowing exactly which class it is and being lazy enough to not size it to a known dimension (wingspan of a known aircraft type), and rounding to keep everything within magnitude, I'm going with:

~25 FT length of model
~750 ft length of WWII BB
~scale of model would be 1/30

With too many P-51's in hand, I'd thought to represent one of the more unusual schemes. While not 100% the decision was made to limit the chances to mess up the perfectly fine work BBI made to provide us with a P-51 of what is a modern warbird flying the circuits. The national markings and fin flash...

Not sure I'd seen any in the all black uniform. One of them looks like this guy, but from the text at the bottom it's a custom, read it you might get some better idea then my own quick lookover. He seems to have several figures he's made up from DML, BBI, 21c, and others also. http://mindxstorm.com/...

BBI made a modern Apache Pilot and 21c made a Vietnam era pilot. BBI's includes some nice modern stuff, but the helmet is unique to the Apache. 21c's helmet might be a good replacement. Both are OOP but can be found from time to time. http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t223/chunks_album/bda4d7bb.jpg...

Some more from "Tales of the Cat". Only a happy customer, so please no 'cat bashing for this. Scroll down and you'll find unissued, preassembled, vendor display 21c 1/6 Hughes 500's in several paints. Freight will be horrendous.

Awesome display!! Thanks.

Jason's usually found here:

Of course it's hit and miss since he's a member there and has a business to run.

Coooool!!

They're a hobby shop that produces some of their own stuff now and then. I'd first heard of them back in the early '90's when they'd released the first of the Reichswehr '46 armour (a Maus) in 1/72. They also released a 1/6 PaK 38 IIRC in the late '90's plus several others. Their bread and butter ar...

MPM are the folks who provide the stuff to these folks. The only other kit of theirs I'm aware of, is the 1/18 B-17 nose section. http://store.spruebrothers.com/shared/StoreFront/default.asp?CS=sbm&StoreType=BtoC&Count1=483211696&Count2=400352120&ProductID=11737&Target=products.asp&utm_medium=cse&ut...

Great find!! Thanks. Photo 22 down from the top appears to show the Chauchat as used by the US. Great find!! Oh, did I say that already.

I really like these, well worth waiting for. This announcement has me excited for 1/18 again.

In the meantime. Some vintage footage.

1 of each

1/144 hellcat
1/18 f-104 Tiger Meet
1/18 "Seemann" Bf-109
1/18 P-51 "Flying Undertaker"
1/18 P-51 "Petie 2nd"
1/18 Panther
1/6 .30 cal air cooled mg set

Some from the MD sale, some 1/6 stuff, but not much. Other then that I've been looking for a 1/144 (N gauge?) BR52 locomotive for an armoured train display for about a year now. Don't even know if such a thing exists. Keeps life simple though.

jeez I am sorry that I tried to get some of you to do something.... It's true that life will go on but the thought of loosing a company that helped established the 1/18th line hurts a bit..... Nothing to be sorry about. The possibility of losing a major player in this hobby is not a good one. But w...

Ouch.

Jackson's also been great and patient working with me for some Aussie decals for the BBI 'stang.

Oops sorry, that was 24.95 for the f104, but they're still adding stuff, figures now that weren't there a few ago.

Holy Cow, Batman!!! All of their 1/18 21c stuff is cheap. Migs and f104's for 19.95. And that's not all.

Someone some time ago was asking about getting ALPS printers. John's Decals is selling out.

Has anyone run into a source for 1/18 scale Korean War era Australian decals, roundel and fin flash, suitable for BBI's Australian "Shark Mouth" P-51. From the few photo's I've found, these would be about 90+% to make this a post WWII 'stang.
