Small Scale Military Headquarters

Last night I come home from a hard days night...ummm I mean work...and there is this brand new BBI Corsair in my office... So I promptly pull out my Pappy to compare it with BBI's. I really wasn't interested in another Corsair but I have to say I definitely like the detail better on the BBI but not ...

This isn't that surprising..in fact a logical move. We've all speculated in past posts that this was either a good idea or was going to happen.. (see last Post on the Gunther Rall 109G thread)...I'm very glad...and yes some re-paints or re-do's like a Rudel Stuka or a Yeagar P51..the list of legends...

Andrew perhaps that Desert version isn't so far away now? If they stay with the Aces trend we could see a Hartmann, Barkhorn and even that Hans-Joachim Marseille one in the re-paint future? Any new updates on the Me262 or Me110?

Sad, Sad ,Sad......all I found were 4 FW190's three were in the 21st century Boxes and one really beat up and abused Motorworks box..and a few X32 tanks....other than that nada!......

As of about 30 minutes ago there were 3 Hermann 109G's left in the san jose Walmart full price

It will be a repaint....i'll guess Marseille 109

I'm with Andrew on this one......we can always hope!

Thanks Raiderad6 for the information I appreciate it,

I checked Pleasanton and the had a bunch of FW190's Chevorns mostly
and in San Jose 7 Yellow Nose Bubble Top P47's..I didn't see figures or Amour at either?

thanks
Scott

raiderad6,

You're in Northern California Bay Area right? Where did you purchase the items from?

Thanks

ME-109-G..Desert version...hello!...Oh and without the cannon blisters....Pah-Leeze

You haven't seen "MIDWAY" until you've watch it on a GAF Talking View Master!...by golly!

Interesting spin on this topic from pictures to how our "significant other" responds to our hobby. My wife has been great..and keeps an eye out for anything WWII aircraft related. I currently have 10 planes of which 6 are hanging in the office at home among other related stuff. I recently bought the...

Anyone out there have any new info on the release on the 109G second and or third series?...Things sure did cool down on this plane lately?

actually not a bad marketing idea....... you get the reactionary buyers who purchase right off the bat!....then nickle and dime us with re-paints all leading up to the big ticket...in short they get us to buy more than one of each plane...brilliant i must say! I'm not a sheep...I'm a lemming!...ther...

Thanks Ski,

So the Greenhearts!....Troutloft, Bob and Ekert?....okay good enough...still need that desert!...intersting picks though?

you'd think the list would be:

Hartmann
Barkhorn
Rall
Krupinski.....etc.....
just from a logical and recognized stand point?

Whats it look like Ski?......Hartmann?.....Desert?.....

Sorry Ski, but I can't load up that page at the moment and I'm Jones'in for a taste!

Okay it's me...the cats out of the bag!....I can't take the pressure any longer!!!!! kidding..... I guess there are other boards along these lines so logically it would be a good business move to keep your finger on our pulse.....I'd guess by and large we represent not only the savy collector but ma...

Question for any of you guys who already have the Graf ME-109-G.

Do the wing cannons/pods come off ,or are the permanent? I was thinking of breaking down and buying one and doing a Desert Afrika paint job on it?

Thanks
Scott

I was just at the Pleasanton WalMart and they had the following:

FW 190-D
(4) New NO.12 versions looked very cool and I was very tempted
(4) Chevron's

And as IMMEWW2 had said yesterday...one each of the 1:32

ME 109 Tropical
ME 262 No.7
P51- Big Beautiful Doll
and they all looked pretty cool too!

Hey look! my new best friend is here!...Sorry Ski you're out and WW2collector is in!...can I come over and play?...LOL...welcome aboard you're in great company here....Oh and congratulations on the "other" new addition to your family..best of luck with the baby too!

I just bought a ME 262 1/32 scale...from Walmart..and although it doesn't have the excitement of the 1/18th stuff I can see the better possibilities of many more aircraft dog fighting from my roof...it is a real issue...but the cost of those Corgi aircraft is rather hindering....

Some very cool stuff that ME 110 is a definte buy!!!...I did notice the absense of the S-2 ME 109-G?..no photo no mention?........

Also hoping to see some evidence of a 1/18th ME 262 soon?

Han Solo couldn't hold Major Matt Masons jock strap!!!....Opps..showing my age?.....Kiddingly of course......it's crap shoot as to what will be the next hot item 20 years from now?...Currently my youngest child is collecting Mighty Beanz...and ya know I just wonder if one day.....$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$......

Thats a jewel!... I have a friend who has an old (put together) model where he had Pappy sign the wings. He said that Boyington thought that was a great idea and that he had never signed wings before... both those items are worth a mint!...or priceless to the collector themselves. Teamski, very cool...

It didn't feel right being here.....

Any of you out there collecting WWII singed prints?

I know Teamski does......Eric, what Galland print do you have?

I have a Galland Me 262, Stigler me 262/me 109 and Kohn (Arnold) P-38 signed prints plus a few artist signed as well.
