Small Scale Military Headquarters

With BBI's approach at least there's room (potential) for improvement as far as the antenna is concerned. I don't think there's a way to replicate the antenna setup in the 21st version. Has anyone tried "drilling" a hole through the canopy? A hot needle may do the trick, but I wouldn't chance spoili...

USPS size restrictions are 108 inches overall, lenght plus girth. Which is for example a package 4 feet long and 15 inches on each side (girth is distance around the package so 15x4 and 48 is 108 inches). I don't know what the size restrictions are in spain but 2 BBI F-18's is a pretty big package....

Well, it's been a while now since I last posted on this subject, so I thought I might as well fill you in with the latest developments. To cut a long story short, here's what happened: Last Friday, I finally got a tracking number from Raider, which was supposedly assigned to the shipment with my stu...

Going for $100 at Militarytoyshop.com:

Thought all you Spitfire fans out there would like to know.

Glad you guys got your stuff.

This should be good news for everyone. Anyway, the clock is ticking, if I haven't received mine by next Monday, I'll get my money back.

Oh, boy: After receiving no reply from Raider (I asked him AGAIN to please provide me with the tracking number of the shipment, which according to him was already "en route"), I logged two separate disputes with PayPal today (one for the Huey Hoghead and the Snake Cobra and one for the Gates' Jeep a...

I bought four defect-riddled BBDs in the old box and would have preferred that 21st Century spend its time and resources on quality control instead of new boxes...a triumph of style over substance. Amen to that, sir! BTW, I don't think we're being critical of 21st because we don't like their produc...

I actually hope the chances of seeing the BBD P-51 Special Edition at a brick-and-mortar store are slim. At least, after two of the Wal Marts in my area got 12-14 BBD P-51s each this past summer in the regular boxes. I would think that most of the people who want this particular paintscheme have on...

I have purchased many times from Raider in the past and all transactions have gone through smoothly. I am currently in the process of completing one. I think he lives in a more remote location in California, so shipping, especially if its via parcel post may take a while depending on where you live...

Hey guys, dont be so quick to trash Raider, I bought from him and yeah, it took a while to get my stuff but it was cheaper than online and I did get what I ordered. I dont belive he's trying to screw you KOF, and belive me, I know the the wait is frustrating but try to be patient. With all the posi...

Kevin, I haven't received any response yet to my latest e-mail, hence this post. As you know, back on October 28th, I bought from you two Ultimate Soldier XD 1/18th scale models (i.e. a Huey Hoghead and a Snake Cobra) for a total of USD 270. On November 6th, I sent you an e-mail inquiring about the ...

Sometimes it isn't fun to be a member of this board. You guys speak about Gerrys, hate, enemies etc. Come on guys, the war is over since over 60 years. I really don't like this Nicknames and I don't like this black/white thing. Every american = hero, every german = evil. Definitely no disrespect in...

I'm trying to find some co-pilots and crew for my helicopters, but I'm not getting any hits on the online searches I have performed. I hope at least these new Vietnam figures will be up for sale at some e-tailer in the near future.

Thanks for the link, Grunt.

(Memo to self: Must search the froum before posting.)

I have seen several pictures recently of the rocket pods included with the 21c Huey (both the Easy Rider and 1st Air Cav. versions), and they are upside down. You can see the original here: http://www.aircav.com/img/cav/m200.jpg At first, I thought it was just mine that had this, er, rather “peculia...

I know what you're thinking... The people of Srebrenica will be sorely disappointed now that G.I. Joe won’t be sporting an elegant sky blue beret to complement his truly gorgeous fashionista attire.

Not to mention that it could be damaged while in transit.

KOF I used your info and Googled the stellingmolen type of windmill. After readinfg several websites I get the impression that the stellingmolen is a grain grinding windtmill and the polder is used for water draining. Not so much a reginal type. Unless the Arnhem region doesn't have any canals or l...

I see you left Korea out of the equation. No wonder why they call it "the forgotten war." C'mon, people, it's the only time in history the UN has found the resolve to actually go to war. Remember the battle of Chosin Reservoir, the Inchon landings, Heartbreak Ridge (no, not <i>that</i> movie) and th...

21c has gone out of business...that's why the site is down. Didn't you see the post in the 'direct from the source' thread? j/k :wink: I heard that the where being subcontracted out by mettle to make 1:18th Barbie stuff, and that they will Resume the military stuff some time in 2010 :lol: J/K :lol:...

They must have had a system overflow caused by that deluge of news they promised.

Quick, somebody call the Alameda Co Fire Dept before all the planes go up in flames (Yeah, I know, I know I like my 1:18 aircraft "well done", but still...)

If you're looking for the real thing, then you should try this guy: http://www.modelmolenbouw.nl/engels.htm These are hand-crafted, so the price could be steep. He's got some interesting pics in the Dutch version of the site: http://www.modelmolenbouw.nl/molenmodelbouw.htm However, if you're looking...

Ok, maybe it's the glare in my monitor, but I'd say the colors on this model differ "slightly" from most if not all the Spitfire models/replicas I've seen (including the 21c version, which is closer to what I thought Spitfires looked like until right this minute). Then again, I'm not a Spitfire conn...
