Small Scale Military Headquarters

I have the "Lou IV" and the "Laura Michelle" P-51s (produced by 21C), and the BBi "Killer Ace". While I agree with the comments made about BBi's detail superiority over the 21C, S1 series, I feel that in terms of overall shape accuracy, the S1 models are closer to the real thing. I say this because ...

Absolutely agree! The Hellcat is a must and should be produced...pronto!

Welcome aboard Cripes, and have fun here. My daughter gave me a beautiful book for Christmas entitled "Flying Aces/ Aviation Art of World War II" by James H. Kitchens and Bernard C. Nalty. The book was actually produced by Barnes & Noble. It has a great collection of famous paintings by artists such...

That's one heck of a display Collector! I love the way the lights shine on the models and give them that expensive car dealership feel. It just makes the models look so much more classy. Congrats on a job very well done Sir.

Happy and surprised to see that you guys are still living and earning your bacon (pun defenitely intended) as the hoggedest, most persistent oinkers I've ever seen in my life, for any cause whatsoever! So keep up the strike and have a great New Year guys. And may Admiral Toys be the one producing th...

When I was about 10, I built a paper airplane that resembled a Shorts S-360, the British twin-engined aircraft used by many small cargo companies all over the world. I loved the way the model turned out and have liked this hobby ever since, although I haven't bult anything in years. But now that it'...

I don't know about you guys, but as I look at all the P-51s I have, I think the Laura Michelle has the most beautiful, true to reality lines. It's too bad that there are so many other problems with these first generation Mustangs. Personally, I fly all of my airplanes in battle scenes, with gears up...

Welcome aboard all new members.

This is a great addition to the forum. We can think of it as the Grand Central station where we can meet new members.

Anyone from the Miami/ South florida area?

I've decided to begin collecting armor, figs, paras, tanks, etc. in 1:18 scale. So far, I have bought the Marouder set that includes a jeep, a truck and five Marouders, from TRU. I simply love the detail, the size and the possibilities. Having said that, here's my problem: I don't know where to begi...

I've been thinking about the old days of the T-Model Ford, when "....you can have it any color you want, as long as it's black". The only thing that is obviously clear from reading this thread is that we have different opinions. That's alright as far as I'm concerned. If you like the new Corsair pai...

Maybe we'll be able to buy pilots from the F-104 and paint-customize them to the F-86. I agree the pictures show a pilot already experiencing the maladies of "rigor mortis".

Thank you TKO for your work on behalf of 21C and for participating actively in this forum. I also appreciate 21C for what they do, and wish them well. Yes, I've also done my part to help them stay in business and my desire is that they continue to prosper. One possible way to go about re-paints and ...

Welcome to the forum Tempest. I think it would be cool if you share with us what your interests are in the 1:18 scale world. Personally, I'm almost exclusively an airplane collector, although lately, and thanks to many of the comments made here, I've began collecting tanks and other vehicles, as wel...

Amen!

Oh boy! Oh boy! I can not begin to tell you how excited I'm about this release. I just love the looks of this airplane model. The paint job looks great also, so thank you Admiral for a great job, and to Jason for such a dedicated response to our comments and suggestions. Jason, could you please look...

Glad to report Gustav as a very good person to do business with. The transaction went very smoothly and the merchandise arrived very well packed and in excellent condition.

I surely recommend him to you, and would do business with him again.

Thank you P. The things we old foggies learn from the 'young ones'!

Great pictures.
Sorry I started a new thread for this very subject the other day, not fully aware of this one. Feel free to cancel my previous TKO, and thanks again for the pictures.

I can only see a portion of the aircraft on each picture, but that may be just my computer. Photos look good and yes JimBob, the idea is a great one, as it would really add variety to the mix.

Lets hope the listen to us!

Kev, Home Depot is selling something very similar in their "storage cabinet" area. Check it out.

Has anyone seen the pictures of the 109G-6 "Seemann" in the Area-21 website? I just saw it and I must say that it's a beauty all the way around. She even has her aileron counter-weights placed in the correct position. Has this aircraft been discussed here prior to today, or am I finally braking grou...

I've alreadyfound what I was looking for. Thanks to all who sent their offers.

Welcome Jason, and again...thank you for participating in our forum. Since you're Counsel for Admiral Toys, you might be in a position to tell us how is the company currently incorporated. Is there a prospectus available for potential investors? If not, are there any plans on going public? I'm sure ...

Received my catalogue today. It seems BCA is falling on hard times by the looks of the catalogue (as compared to last year's), and what was said on the December letter sent via e-mail. Perhaps a new and more aggressive marketing strategy is in order. I know several people I have introduced to 1:18 c...

Intersting find Vulture. I wish they'd produce in 1:18 scale, or at least 1:32, right?

Maybe if enough of us will suggest it, they might do it.

Thanks again and have a great day.
