Small Scale Military Headquarters

i have made most all of my HM purchases from aikensairplanes.com
i have also made a purchase or 2 from flyingmule.com. aikens will also throw in a piece of candoy or 2 (sally, send only chocolate!) to placate the wife when the big box shows up!

was watching this classic the other day and had to sit down and watch the Yeager scene- flying the f-104 to 104K ft. in the background in the hangar when he is bumming a stick of Beamons (sp?) gum from Crossfield, i saw the f-86, then in the background of the f-104 i saw the f-102 taxiing......then ...

I have about 21 birds and I have always considered selling them off. The thing that holds me back are the kids. I went to my sons fifth grade class and took a few with me......next thing I know they ask me to come back and speak to the entire fifth grade. I lined up about 12 of these birds at the e...

I recently purchased the Comstock F-100 and it a a very impressive model. HM does quality work. the Hun is my 2nd favorite, right behind my Thud ( memphis belle II ). I was leaning towards getting a SEA camo painted Hun, but am very happy with the aluminum version. you won't be dissapointed.

really looking forward to the 102, 106, and 101....HM is doing the voodoo, aren' they? hope they are.

i ordered a Century A-6 a while back- what a POS that thing is. :shock: :?: :?: :?: That is the very first time that I have heard that. I have many CW models, and have three A-6's. I think that they are great, and come with great weapons loadouts. Proper CW quality in am important USN aircraft. Why...

How is the F-100 model? I really want to get a couple of those. Love the look of the Super Sabre. I was first inclined to get a SEA camo f-100 but went the Comstock route instead (ordered thru aikens-they are great to work with). very happy with it. HM also includes 3 pitot tube variants, and a cou...

i am preppng my collection for a century series theme.....need to get a phantom as well.....

my 3 newest HM models were delivered this week. -100, -104, and 105. wow. was the 104 really that slender and small compared to the 105, or was there a scale error made? the 104 is 'pussy cat' and the 105 is memphis belle II. the Hun is the Comstock variant. i am really impressed with the hun.

Sent a "cold call" to HM via their website yesterday and had a rather enjoyable exchange with one of their PR people. long/short of it: F106 won't be pushed out 'til 3rd or 4th Quarter of 2011....and it might be n the 48th FIS scheme.....below is the email exchange.....bottom is the start.... ------...

you guys are killin' me. posting 909 like that. gonna make my head burst!
nice planes, BTW......

*sigh* i stopped scratching at the b-17 itch a while ago.......still dreaming a b-17g though..... No, no, no...avoid a G-itch by all means possible. They cause nasty festering pustules that ooze when scratched and are easily infected by the B-24 virus while the sores are open. @#@$$@$%$ you, you %#...

had my f-14 stand sitting empty (limited space, the 'cat is still in the box) and was dusting my shelf last night. I have my f104 'george sitting out displayed on the landing gear and decided to try and use the stand with the -104. it works great! i was able to make some more space on my shelf. Pizz...

Do you remember opening your first diecast model? I'm sorry, but I'm new to this hobby and just opened my HM 1:48 P-26 Peashooter and F3F-3 Flying Barrel. I can't get over the detail and paint jobs. I thought they would be like Matchbox cars but I'm loving the quality. Just don't turn them over or ...

(banging head on table over and over and over and over and over).....
sigh.....someday, i guess.
