Small Scale Military Headquarters

Thanks Gene. =) By the way: does anyone else think that the Dragon Can-Do helicopters need to be in a darker shade? www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/ac/uh-60.htm www.sikorsky.com/details/...61,00.html www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/ac/ah-64.htm www.boeing.com/history/mdc/ah-64.htm Any idea if they'll make d...

Any one out there in small-scale land want to speculate on whether Dragon will use these existing molds to create a 1:72 line of the same vehicles? Think of it: a 1:72 Paladin, a 1:72 M113, a 1:72 Blackhawk....<drool>.... Too many companies out there are offering differing versions of the same usual...

this is what WGP Klaus is talking about: http://www.jbwholesalers.com.au/trumpeter/tr144t.htm anyone else seen these amazing little tanks for sale in the US? i have yet to see them on sale anywhere, not even on ebay (at least the AAVs). =( it's a *very* nice complement to dragon's can-do/takara's wo...

Hello all, Did a bit of research into small helicopters (diecast/plastic detailed only -- un-painted plastic kits is a whole new ballgame!) and just wanted to share what I learned. CDC Armour AH-64D Apache Longbow (1:100) AH-1T Sea Cobra (1:100) AH-1W Super Cobra (1:100) http://www.aircraftmodels.co...

hello all, as a follow-up, just wanted to post what i've found out there in terms of 1:144 aviation. please note: i focus exclusively on modern US aircraft, so i apologize if i'm missing anything else in 1:144. Model Power: Postage Stamp A-10 Warthog (1:140) A-6 Intruder (1:140) F-15 Eagle (1:150) F...

Hello all, (Reposting from an earlier thread.) Thank you all for your warm responses. A nice community out there. =) I hoped to provide some air support for my Can-Do tanks (which *are* quite nice, by the way). However, I know I'm in the minority for being a modern collector =P (you WWII boys have a...

Hello all, Thank you all for your warm responses. A nice community out there. =) I hoped to provide some air support for my Can-Do tanks (which *are* quite nice, by the way).

just wanted to pass that on. =)

Wow, thank you for the prompt responses, all! Do you mind if I ask a few more questions? 1. Just how big is the 1:144 scale? Let's say we're talking about the Abrams. Is the chassis the size of a US $0.25 quarter? The size of a credit card? Somewhere in between (a wheat-thin or triscuit? =P) Being a...

Hello all, Does anyone out there have any thoughts on Dragon's Can-Do pocket army (1:144 scale)? http://www.michtoy.com/MTSCnewSite/vehicles_folder/Dragon_Pocket_Army/Dragon_Pocket_Army.html Dragon always makes amazing stuff, but it just seems like they're trying to cram too much detail into such a ...

Did anyone out there get the new FOV Blackhawk "Iraqi Freedom" edition? http://www.forcesofvalor.com/product.aspx?pid=60 Does anyone know if the darker paint job makes the ridiculously emphasized rivets/hard points any less ridiculous-looking? The photos of the "Desert Storm" model (especially with ...

Mr. Football and co., So, it seems like the consensus is: 1. Dragon is amazing, and contrary to what I thought, they *do* make fixed wing/rotary wing aircraft. 2. Forces of Valor's upcoming 1:72 scale should be sweet. 3. Corgi's Tactical Strike series is nice, and given Corgi's history (I'm just pre...

Thank you for the prompt reply Mr. Football! This seems like a friendly community (though there seem to be a few WWII-related spats). =P As a point of clarification, you mentioned complementing your collection with the Corgi Tactical Strike series. Just wanted to know: did you find the difference be...

Hello all, A newbie here. Want to start a collection, but not a die-hard enthusiast by any means -- would like to play with my tanks every so often in addition to staring at them. =) Flirted with the idea of the big boys (1/32 and bigger) and then with the really small guys (figured I'd field a mass...
