Small Scale Military Headquarters

Said it before, and I'll say it again: Grumman Ag Cat, baby, Grumman Ag Cat.


That would be niiiiiice.

I did however, find this on the Fw-380 zwillig. Perhaps his next custom? http://discaircraft.greyfalcon.us/FOCKEWULF%20FW.htm Hee-hee, good one. At first I didn't notice the "Fictional Story and Model" bit at the top of that page. Maybe our illustrious Luftwaffe Expert Customizer won't notice it ei...

Holy poop, I read some of the R/C forum posts on that thing---the props actually are counter-rotating. How cool is that? The sound that thing makes in flight is unreal---almost like a real Bear but shifted to ultra-high pitch.

Sweeeeeet.


Jeffrey

That looks friggen awesome, dude.

That's all I have to say about that.


Jeffrey

Hee-hee. I guess I'm what people in the addiction-treating field would call an "enabler".


Jeffrey

Money laundering, drug buy, other outlawed good purchase (ivory, etc), who knows what else.

Paypal: making monetary transfers for nefarious reasons simple and quick since 2000.



Jeffrey

Man, that's looking damned good.

If I had the time and patience....


....I'D STILL LET YOU DO IT.



Jeffrey

Hey Pickle, I'm right down the road in Raceland. I've got a loose Stuka you can have for twenty-five, I guess. I was never all that crazy about it. The rear gun fell out and needs to be glued back in place, but I think all the parts are there. If you're ever down this way you could probably pick it ...

I have no idea what this "organized" word you use actually means.



Jeffrey

Over in my little universe it really won't matter if the scale is dead or not. Between fuel prices (which will only increase) and the advertised prices of upcoming 1/18 offerings I really don't have the cash necessary to stay in the hobby.

But that's just in my universe.



Jeffrey

take out your anger on 21C or BBI for not releasing a no-brainer 190A version that we all want for $50 that would sell very well.

No worries in that department, pal.
We got it covered.



Jeffrey

I've never owned a panther. Somehow I never had the opportunity to pick one up at a decent price. And if BadCat's price is indicative of how much we're gonna pay for these and other 1/18 items from now on, it looks like I'll never get one. *sigh* Did I mention I was getting really really bored latel...

A quick note on the helicopter gunship in Rambo 3: The aircraft used was obviously not a real Hind, but a Aerospatiale Puma doctored up to sorta kinda somewhat look like Hind. While there are lots of surplus Hinds floating around these days (heck, even the U.S. Army has at least three to use in warg...

Wow. Looks like everyone has been as bored as I've been lately.



Jeffrey
(zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz)

I thought cockroaches were ALREADY perfect...
(At least the big sparrow-sized flying ones we have down here appear to be)




Jeffrey

Well guys, all reasons, explanations and considerations aside, a hundred bucks is too steep for me to pay for a 1/18 ANYTHING. I'm not bitching, complaining, or blaming anyone or anything, because to me that's all irrelevant----I'm just stating fact as it pertains to me. I make decent money, really ...

If I were a less trusting individual I might think that 21st's only objective was squashing any upstart competition...

...but then I'm a very trusting person...




Jeffrey

That is impressive.
Even in this current era of computer generated images I can imagine a herd of old-school movie special effects guys just dying to throw that puppy in front of a green screen.




Jeffrey

Fine.
I want a Zeppelin.





Jeffrey

So let me see if I got this right: you're saying it's a long way off?



Jeffrey

Yeah, I think I'm gonna have to back the King up on this one. Sounds like just another one of those vague "wait, don't give up yet, keep checking our website" sort of statements. I don't even pay attention to those anymore, or PRE-ORDER announcements for that matter. Damn I'm jaded, but I'll believe...

Ummm, no.

(Just my two and one-half cents.)

(Adjusted for inflation, but taking the devalued state of the dollar into account, of course.)

P.S. Cool avatar pic.



Jeffrey
(the NOT-actually-adjusted-for-inflation-and-therefore-feeling-a bit-de-valued one)

Got my BBI Blackhawk in today. This is the first one I've ever bought, and I think I like it----a lot.

Thanks Brady!

And thanks again to the Chairman for the heads-up last week!




Jeffrey

Outstanding!
Thanks for the heads-up.
I think I just picked up a BBI Blackhawk for thirty-two bucks including shipping...


Jeffrey

A B/C model, please.
I'd buy that.
