Small Scale Military Headquarters

I am also a newbie that collects 1:72 and 1:32 vehicles and soldiers. For the most part I just recently got into the 1:72 scale of collecting and have accumulated a few HMMWVs from Dragon. One thing I have used to supplement my 1:72 forces is plastic model kits from Airfix, Italeri, Revell and Matc...

I got it off eBay from a great seller in Colorado that has a huge stock of FoV. His handle is rg1911 and so far I've gotten a 1:72 Sherman, Churchill, Bradley, Hurricane and Tornado off of him on top of two 1:32 Tiger Is, Panzer IV and Schwimmagen. Unfortunately, both Tiger Is that I've bought from...

After I posted that Hobby Master was going to drop the wash there were so many posts on 4 or 5 forums, PMs and emails to me and emails to Hobby Master requesting the wash be kept. The percentage in favor of the wash was about 4 - 1 in favor. A lot of replies said that it is a Hobby Master feature an...

Can't wait for the HM KV's, especially the KV-II, these should be awesome. I would love to see HM produce a JS-II as well. Any idea which online distributor will likely be the first to have these new offerings available?? Sorry, I don't know the answer to this. If I didn't I still couldn't say beca...

Thanks,

There should be one or two arrive later this month. I will post any updates on my news page.

Anyone heard when the first round of 1/72 Hobby Master tanks will arrive in the US? There has not been any dates given yet, except the vague arriving soon. Thanks, Eric These should arrive in the US in July HG3003 1/72 Russian KV-1 model M1941 124th Guard Tank Brigade, Leningrad, 1941 HG3103 1/72 C...

April 26, 2007 I just learned that the June releases (arriving in North America in July) for Hobby Master 1/72 scale planes will come WITHOUT a weathering wash. This is on a trial basis only, they want to see how well they are received and could become the norm. The wash will remain on their 1/48 pl...

I added some pictures of the new Hobby Master 1/72 Stuka HA0131. It comes with swastikas applied.

If you could choose 3 and only 3 A-10's to be made what would they be? List them in order of your priority. There is a very good chance they could be made. I know you are going to hate the next part, email me your answers. I don't want other members being swayed by someone else's choices and I reall...

There hasn't been any news yet but I will post it on my news page as soon as I have it.

There is information for 2 new 1/48 JS-2 (IS-2) updated March 3, 2007.

AAAAAMEN!!!!!!!!!!

I agree with the guys against this type of section. If someone has a problem with a transaction then settle it with the retailer. I've had a few occasions where things didn't go the way I thought they should so I contacted the seller. I would say that 98% of the time we worked it out. The other 2% I...

well done aferguson, we don't need to start another conflict like before. I support your move 100%

Hobby Master has issued this statement in an effort to clear up some misunderstanding or confusion concerning the A-10 and A-4. "Some of our distributors noted that Corgi will release the A-10 and A-4 in Sept. We would like to clarify that these have no relation with Hobby Master products at all. In...

I have done what hworth18 suggested and it works fine. The nail polish remove has to contain acetone for it to work. I put some remover on a Q-tip and lightly rub it over the decal or tampo marking and you will see, almost immediately the paint coming of on the Q-tip. I take a few more dry Q-tips an...

The next releases are supposed to have a new type of tread, more rubber than the first tracks. This supposed to take place from HG0110 and on. Also the new Tigers and King Tigers will have an all metal barrel and the Shermans will be all metal chassis and turret.

I added some pictures and news.
