Found one in decent shape at WM. Really like it. Sorry for the grainy pic, took it last night and with a flash it looked even worse. Any way - nice plane, paint's good, like the option to display with cockpit door open (as in pic) or closed - overall, very pleased for 15 bucks! Will try to take bett...

Found one on the Wally World shelf today in Michigan, but it killed me to have to pass on it due to lack of quality - poor paint job, nicks, and what looked like a glob of glue...

Going to check out another MW tomorrow and will hopefully have better luck.

Stay tuned!

TM

No armor in Detroit area TM's, but I did get the 109!

I also picked up the B-25 in the hopes that someone might be interested in trading or making a deal on a B-17 from a previous TM sale. If interested PM me.


Thanks!

Thanks!

Many thanks for the heads-up on this sale! I too hit 4 stores and walked away with a lot of treasures! I think the 1:32 aviation related figures will add a nice touch to the aircraft displays.

Again - thanks!




ps - don't tell the wife!!!!

Next question - how much would anyone be willing to pony up for a 1/32 B-17? 75 to a 100 bucks?

Thanks all. I'll take more pics when I can, but all I did was bend the wire in a loop at the top, put some clear tubing around it and then angle the loop to suit the plane - the Zero is on a slight slant as if peeling away from the Corsair. The planes then basically rest on the loop - but for extra ...

Must be the camera angle/lense...but those are the 32nd dogfight set. And yes, I have hairy feet, but no- I'm not a hobbit :wink:

Dogfight display

Well, my order came in over the weekend from Small Joes, so I put together a little display idea. I'm putting it in my office at work and since hanging from the ceiling is out, I had to come up with something different.

Shark-nosed P-51 at the TRU on John R in Madison Heights, MI.

Also had a nice 1/18th selection - Red Tail, new Corsair (both 21st and bbi).

Corsair/Zero Dogfight

Sorry if I've missed this topic, but I was wondering if anyone's picked this set up and if so, any reviews? Is the Corsair Ike Kepford's version? Did you find it at a box store or online? I see Monkey Depot's got it on sale for $37.95.




Thanks!

Thanks, guys (assuming every one here is a dude...)! Just got back from another trip to MTSC. Picked up "Tex" Hill's P-40B by 21st. Now, if I only had a screwdriver in my office... Urban Drew lives out in San Diego (I'm in MI) but last we spoke he was still doing well. I had the privilege of escorti...

Introduction

Hello all. New here – been collecting 1/6th for years, but haven’t done much in that arena in a while. So, my new thing (obviously since I’m here) is smaller scale. I’ve had the early 1/18th offerings from 21st for years (P-51, Stuka and 109) but have recently bought a couple of the 1/32nd “Dog figh...
