Small Scale Military Headquarters

For those of you that have never actually been to Monkey Depot the place is a repository for 21st 1/18 and smaller stuff so it's not a suprise that they've got a ton of merchandise to clear out. They do this type of sale every year. Speculate away.

I hate to let her go but I have to get some bills paid before Uncle O puts me out of a job.

Where is the resident 21st cheerleader? I'm sure he's got some insight.

In your opinion would the Banana hobby A-10 be suitable for a beginner..?? No. The plane appears to be a bit underpowered, slightly unstable in yaw and probably has to be flown all the time (can't take your hands of the sticks without changing directions). The biggest killer of R/C planes is gettin...

good price though

That's a little harsh don't you think? Considering he has 100% feedback it's probably just a typo just like the 1/8 in the item title.

You're thinking of a Ju-87G.

those HMP 1/18 kits have been around for years. I wouldn't read anything into that. 1/18 model kits would be tres cool as there would be a better chance of seeing more diverse subject matter, me thinks. It's hard to say Aferg. Dragon has been releasing 1/6 model kits for about the last year now and...

I think we'll see one from Admiral but it will be a complete surprise when it hits. Though the faithful here will blame some sort of Chinese conspiracy against toy makers for the delay, 21st probably didn’t even have a full scale prototype when they announced theirs. I’ll expect to see one from 21st...

I didn't realize Digger was under orders not to walk over to their booth...

No info on Admiral's new line?

I believe the only major difference between the B and C models is where they were made.

From what I understand the two men were close friends and both of them joked about the identity of the aircraft.

It was rare but from what I've read even the ground crew wouldn't let anyone else fly it. Stigler brought the plane to the unit straight from the factory. Galland told him that bringing his own 262 was the only stipulation for joining the unit. The reason it doesn't have all of the normal stenciling...

As much as I'd like to, I can't take the credit for painting this bird. I worked with Scott Carter over at http://fadedarmor.com/ to get this done. I simply provided Scott with all of the images of the aircraft and paint data I could find and with a couple of educated guesses this is what he came up...

As Jackson pointed out, this is in fact Franz Stigler's personal mount. While Galland did fly this aircraft on occasion it was only because he was who he was that Stigler allowed it. Also, it is only because Galland was photographed with the aircraft that it has become "his" over the years. Stigler ...

I guess that depends on your definition of historic.

Well at least you'll have an F-4 from 21st to fill that hole the B-25 has left. Oh wait, I guess you won't...

Anyone have a picture of the 262?

Easy to clean and comfortable to use.

If you look right behind the canopy on the right side you can see where the rear canopy will be on the night fighter version. Looks like they will use the same fuse for both. I seen that,,,no big deal.....it's got a detailed landing gear and tires. I give it ten out of ten. 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) ...

Welcome back Jason. Any chance we'll be seeing a certain repaint of the 262 anytime in the next year or so?

Sorry no. I'm trying build up some extra cash right now.

Now that I've got California Cutie I decided it was time to part with Pudgy V. It's up on ebay now. I may be listing my Red Devil's F-18 this week as well.
