Re: RC Plane Talk

Those look way too good to risk flying! But I could say that about most of our Museum planes too!

Re: 1/32 Mustangs

Are they 21st Century prebuilt planes? If so loose or in box?

That's a neat toy. I'm not familiar with the movie. I don't watch anything "Disney" since they went all stupid woke.

Re: FOV rouses itself from slumber...!!!

It's a gift and a curse to know what details of a tank, or in my case, a plane, are totally wrong on these models. I couldn't tell you the difference between an ausf G or A or a wrong mantlet on a Panther. Or whether the hatch was wrong or exhaust was inaccurate. I have a hard enough time just spell...

Re: new FOV 1/32 Jumbo and 105mm Deep Wading Shermans

Well now that I see prices on the tiny 1/72 stuff, I guess these 1/32 prices aren't too out of line. Used to say "You get what you pay for." Now it's more like "You pay for what you get."

Those are nice. However, didn't see anything about free shipping so: Figure $130 + shipping + tax. That' a lot.

Re: Mysterious 1951 C-124 Globemaster disappearance

That could be anything from an accident to a major cover up of sabotage. Maybe even a hijack. It sounds like all the passengers and crew either died inside the plane before it sunk, were killed after leaving the plane or were picked up by the wrong people and disappeared forever. However, planes and...

Re: WOLF HOUND ME-109 vs B-25

Wow. Just when you thought Hollywood couldn't get much worse in these kind of fantasy scenes like in "Red tails" and "Pearl Harbor" and to a lesser extent in "Midway". The B-25 with no gunners would have been easy meat for the 109. Wouldn't have lasted a full minute. Wouldn't have had to do anything...

VF-17 1/18 Corsair Formation Display

Posted this on the Fans of 21st century Facebook page but thought I'd put it here too. In conjunction of the ongoing restoration of the Tri-State Warbird Museum's FG-1D Corsair, I decided to do a set of custom Corsairs in 1/18 and hang them in a formation near the Corsair's location in hangar 2.

Re: Strange mold lines on 1/18 Spitfire canopy?

NK*K and ZP*A have it. Since they are just repaints, the canopies would be the same mold like the rest of the plane. Likely the other 2 variants have it.

Been a couple of rough years. Wishing everyone a joyous Christmas and safe and healthy new Year. I've moved close to my Museum and downsized to a very small house.

Fantastic! I had one of those kits but sold it. I was intimidated by the amount of canopy framing that was going to have to be painted inside and out. I'm at a point where I no longer have the patience or skills to do major canopy frames. I like the big scale but the amount of detail needed to creat...
