Small Scale Military Headquarters

Ok cool. So a few options for a possible conversion.
Still trying to figure out inside my own head, if it's too toy like. The auction still has a day to go....

This has come up on a local auction site. It's cheap enough, but does anyone recogize it as resembling any real life scout vehicle?

WTB.
1: F86 "The Huff" replacement Canopy
2: Replacement Main landing gear for the XD Corsair (Could maybe take an entire wing mid section, Bunker Hill Version).

Butcher bird for me!
Speaking of the Mustang conversion. I have a conversion kit made by "that guy, whose name we dare speak of", I haven't built it yet so if you want photos of it let me know.

Hey Jon. I have one somewhere.
I'm just about to shift house so wont be able to get it out until next weekend.
I've also taken it apart, but haven't done any hacking yet.
Make an offer if you like (I'll also have to factor in shipping from New Zealand )

Double post.

Aw, I could give you a big bear hug right about now . Thanks for doing what you do Matt.

I bought a Fw 190 specifically to convert to an A model. Say the word Matthew and you can have my deposit

You can count me in for a Nose, Spinner, & Prop kit.

VMF, The black you painted didn't have a metallic fleck to it did it?

I hear ya Paul. I've only seen two specialist hobby stores here in NZ that had at the most 4 XD toys (and they would be random items, a stuka and a humvee for example). I've actually had more than one dream, where i've walked into a toy store and they had 1:18th toys by the shelf load. Then I wake u...

Welcome aboard ww2.
Quick question, do you guys ship to overseas customers?

Just completed a deal with NWarty which saw one more P40 getting added to the warbird collection. She arrived snug as a bug in a rug and on time. Cheers Blake!

Ok, some soul searching going on in the background where I asked myself would I buy this for $166+. The answer is "no". I've been doing some rough estimations around a hybrid kit. This would involve two materials: Resin casting those parts which lend themselves to this process ie parts that can be e...

The only major parts still to go are the control fixtures / handles etc t...

Something I've been pondering for some time. The XD Spitfire, 109, 190, Avenger (to name a few) all have the undercarriage legs and gear doors molded in one piece. Anyone keen for some more accurate legs that are separate. These would completely replace the stock landing gear. Not to sure how easy t...

Original M3 Stuart like the old Tamiya kit. I'm not at all proficient with the small details, but could it be possible to have say a base chassis/running gear and then different turrets/rear deck etc to make the different models. So all kits have basic/common parts, with separate pieces making up th...

Just an update guys. I've been busy with work recently, but i have been doing little bits and pieces.
I've shelled the larger parts. Just have a lot of little detail bits to model up.
I'll hopefully have some updated images and price within a week.

Thanks for the reply regarding shipping to NZ. Bit too rich for my blood so she's still available fellas.

PM sent.

Hey Matthew. I've been thinking about it and I could probably make do with the two sides I have. I can just modify one cage so it faces the other way.

Hey jnewboy, was your captured Corsair an XD one? Did you break it down much, or did you repaint it while it was pretty much together?

Jollyroger, it might be better just to mask the prop/cowl opening than trying to break it down. You can pull the wings out (step one of the wing folding sequence) which should give you some gap to paint between (mask the folding mechanism). The small forward facing gear doors can be easily removed s...

He already has a scheme he wants to paint. He's just asking for advice on how to take it apart in preparation for it's new livery.........You just wanted to show off aye Jnewboy
