The Motor Pool is calling it quits and clearing out all its inventory...the website says this is for family and health reasons...but I'm guessing (after following the running commentary on the repercussions of upcoming tariffs) that in addition to those reasons, the uncertainty of the market has mad...
Alas, it was not...I wish they had, I would have been all over it...21CT did make one in 1/32... But if someone wants to go big , they could grab one of these: https://www.hobbyzone.com/products/p-51-mustang-1100mm-pnp-v2-detroit-miss- Notice it goes for a price cheaper than what you'd probably pay ...
Came across these while looking at the vids I alluded to in aferguson's Assault Breecher post...maybe not anything we don't know already from conversations here, but interesting to hear all at once... Sort of a part 1 & 2 thing, the story almost brought a sentimental tear to my eye... :) :) :) https...
Yah, it's built on the old Unimax Bravo Team version...the giveaway is the underside & the tracks, they're distinct from the BBI releases... Obviously it's not super-accurate, but it's pretty nifty nonetheless...and the price is a steal, can't say I'm not tempted... :) The guy selling it has a video...
...about the 21CT Kubelwagon...I remember reading (possibly in this forum) that the molds for the Kubel were destroyed in a fire along with the 1/18 Spitfire molds...Kubelwagons still pop up on ebay at fairly reasonable prices (as opposed to Spits, which are usually offered up at ludicrous asking pr...
The new repaints promised us by FOV have been released with minimal fanfare (is anybody home at their Facebook page?)... Check out this flood of product old and new, including some prototypes: https://twitter.com/platz_hobby/status/1656464923160113152/photo/1 ...and check out their 1/72 modular dior...
Thanks for posting this...I have all the FOV Tiger releases, but haven't taken them out of their boxes yet (I'm not sure what I'm waiting for :) )... I see I got a better deal than I knew when I bought these, I didn't realize all the goodies that are buried within...I wonder if there will be a revie...
Belated thanks for this link, PanzerArm...great to see a company producing a range of stuff beyond the obvious choices...but did they ever produce the 1/32 armor?...the scale line seems to have disappeared from their website...
...would love to see some pics of anything you put together...
That is a cool and thorough new makeover that the new King Tiger is getting, and with only around 1000 being made at a price of around a grand, I wonder if the old ones will lose too much value...but we know buying stuff as an investment in the crowded hobby collectible market is a little dicy, if y...
' ............well, maybe.......... Motor Pool has indicated that FOV may actually revive some of their older toolings with a minimum of modifications (and just doing us the small favor of including accessories and machine guns made of a material that doesn't arrive warped would be sufficient improv...
I'm glad for you, bro, and to reinforce your feelings of joy take a quick look at the usual bunch of listings of JSI & BBI at utterly absurd prices on ebay...you got it cheaper than some of the ones with missing and broken pieces...sometimes Christmas comes early!
I always wondered why JSI chose the American Paras as the first to be re-released---they had only been recently introduced by 21CT and were all over the place (and weren't the American Airborne amongst the XD figs dumped at bargain prices at Kay Bee stores before they too went belly up?...can't quit...
Yeah, Normandy, I wish they were 1/18 too...I'm periodically tempted to go after some of the multitude of 1/16 items, but then I talk myself down, I don't want to start another scale (and a bigger one at that) as they don't really mix well with XD ...but Hen Long stuff in particular looks like reall...
Two different versions from different manufacturers (MRC Gallery and Das Werk), not pre-assembled and with lotsa parts, but they go for a reasonable price... Check out some quick reviews of the MRC here... https://www.cybermodeler.com/hobby/builds/gallery/build_gallery_64009.shtml (hysterical quote:...
Incredibly nice model, cnq, that must have been a major labor of love...! I'm guessing that masking the cockpit was quite a challenge...and all those decals put the finishing touch on a a great piece of work...I'll bet it was fun getting them all placed symmetrically...wish I had your skill and pati...
Such strange times we're going through, but things could always be worse (think how bad things might have looked at any point in the past ten or so years, and then The Germ comes along and made those times seem like the good old days)... but Christmas is about hope and being together, and we'll get ...
