Small Scale Military Headquarters

I know this is old news but I found this link with some great pics of Wing Scale's 1/32 B-17G kit. There is also a 1/32 B-25, B-26 and P-61 on the way. Plus, this site says the price is not expected to exceed $250. Pretty good deal considering the size and detail this kit offers. http://store.sprueb...

How much will a kit cost?

The Stuka will not give up its wings willingly. I find the Stuka wings to one of, if not, the most difficult to remove of all the 1/18 aircraft. I can't remember where the tabs are located along the base, but I found just working the wing back and forth from the front to back worked best for me. Hop...

Some viruses can be tough. If you can't get into the bios to boot to an internal/external cd drive the restore disks can't help you. I run into quite a few machines at work that need to re-imaged because the users will pick up a virus. My brother would stop over at my house and play those Facebox (I...

trex0770 i got a virus from your photobucket page. if you look at those pics you might want to run a scan on your computer. i already had to buy a new computer last week thanks to facebook, i got a virus from them the first time. so be on the safe side guys run a scan! other than that great pics ma...

Awesome. Thank you so much. You just helped me complete my Black 12 190. I am very grateful for your gesture.

Okay....Smitty, Aircobra, Jay....I dug through the boxes and found the bird. It is indeed the "Black 12" version and shes about apart for shipping. As soon as I can get boxes and padded envelopes I will get them in the mail. If you need (and you better ask now before I pack it all up) I can provide...

After reading the second post left by Tom, I think this has gone from a great idea to an awesome idea. At least it has for me. I was worried we would be locked into a subscription (for lack of a better term) and that each kit would automatically be billed and shipped at a set time. Now that Tom has ...

It is a good idea kinda like the old lay-away plan though I would prefer it sent to me when its paid off not in parts I totally agree with you and would really like to see that as an option but what happens if people get half way into paying for a kit and then decide to back out? How would that aff...

I like the idea. Not sure how this works on Skyworks end. Is this going to be an all in type of program where items are automatically billed and shipped, or will Skyworks offer kits ala carte with no set billing and shipping schedule? I think either way would work, but with the holidays coming up I ...

This may not be related to this auction but I've seen a major increase in shill bidding lately on ebay. Some of its due to avoiding seller fees prior to placing an auction on their site. While others maybe related to economic reasons or simply for greed. Keep an eye out for it especially if you pla...

I think there is a large untapped market for releasing 1/18 aircraft and other vehicles in kit form. I know we have gone over this numerous times, but I still feel the market is waiting for this.

Just finished a great transaction with Barbarian333. He purchased a plane from me and paid immediately. Perfect buyer, thanks again.

Looks really nice without the spots. I plan to repaint mine like one of the VX-9 Vampire squadron. I like the black one on the page below. I know it's a D model but I don't care all that much. Any idea of what the main differences are between the A and D models are? http://www.anft.net/f-14/f14-squa...

Regardless of what people complained about, the Spotcat is a wonderfully awesome thing. Mine still in the box, still is amazing to look at in my room, if anything it has become the defining element in my Display. I agree with you. The F-14 will be the crown jewel of my collection as well after I re...

I picked up one of the scratch and dent Tomcats from Badcat and it arrived today. This thing is AWESOME!!!!!! Spots look bad but that will be taken care of. I am so happy I decided to get one. The problem is, I have no idea where I am going to put this thing. I just have to glue the radar back on an...

I just cancelled my order about 2 weeks ago. Mine was prepaid so I had some cash coming to me. I put that towards an F-14 that should be here soon. Even if you decide to keep the pre order, I doubt Admiral will honor the price. In todays market I would expect the asking price to be over $100 easy. I...

Thank you for the review TKO. I finally got around to purchasing an F-14 and it should be here Tuesday. I am super excited about it. The F-14 is at the upper limit of what I can afford and I actually had to sell some stuff to get it. Now I may have to pick up a couple pilots from Skyworks and possib...

Last of my 1/72 planes. Matchbox P-51 Old Crow. I opened the box but the plane and box are in great condition. Asking $20 shipped to the lower 48. I accept paypal.

After finding out how much it would cost to ship outside the U.S. I will have to limit my trades to U.S. members. Sorry about any misunderstandings. Man it costs a lot to ship internationally.

Wow, no love for Donnie Boy? Here is a broader list of planes I would trade a new in box Donnie Boy Razor Back P-47 for. I know some are long shots but I'm just throwing them out there. It doesn't matter if they are boxed or loose as long as they are complete-ish and in good shape. P-38 Any Scheme P...

When will we see our next WWII Warbird? I know our hobby is in a deep slump, but do you think we will see any new WWII Warbirds next year? It's obvious there is nothing coming out this year, I just hope next year offers something to look forward to.

I have a spare 21st Century 1/18 Scale P-47 "Donnie Boy" new in box that I am looking to trade for a 1/18 Bubble Top P-47. Looking for a straight up even trade. Let me know if you are interested.

That is a fantastic job of weathering.
