Re: New Members Introduce Yourselves!
Hi there.
Welcome from the UK.
I've got the same type of problem, I had to put everything into storage last November, and all I've bought since has just gone straight in there without being opened. In the next few weeks though, we should all have a new home....
All the best.

Re: 1/16 tanks
Indeed, I was in the middle of typing just such a response until I realised that had I continued, there would be be a point where I would have answered every question ever asked...or not........
Started crying and went for the short answer instead.

Re: Jnewboy Customs ~ 1/18 Me-109F-2 ~ Operation Barbarossa
Personally I generally prefer the Battle of Britain or late war defence of the Reich schemes on German fighters, but against that, I've got to say this is a really nice looking scheme which you have done full justice to, and I think its turned out as one of your best works. (well that's my opinion) ...

Like your paint job on the Dora 9
I agree on a FW190 Conversion, Hope we see one, I would certainly go for that, there are several schemes I'd like to do.

Re: Everybody in the pool!! collection pic time
mikeg : Those outdoor shots of your collection are great!
I've now got about the same quantity of 1/18 planes, but looking at the models you have there are about 20 of yours that I still don't have, so your pictures are like a photographic check list of what i've still got to get!
All the best!

Re: Poll: the future of 1/18 and prices
Never had a '1/18 Golden era' over here, so for me the current rates are pretty much static, the only difference I can remember was that when news was coming out that 21st had gone bang, there were a couple of P51 versions on Amazon which had their prices increased overnight. I recently paid just un...

Re: What's BBI's future in 1/32?
If you want Japanese fighters, then yes, a Ki-84 Frank would be excellent, or the Ki-61 Tony, if it's twin prop, for me - why not go all the way to B-25 or B26 or the Mosquito.....

If any of you guys are desperate for the Phantom, there's a BBI 1/32 F4J on E-bay UK (Not mine or anything to do with me) # 250892682941 - it probably works out about $220 or offers, plus postage

Re: bbi 1/18 WWII Luftwaffe Bf-109 preview
I think it was a tactical identification marking which was applied to various German front line aircraft types in an effort to provide rapid identification of friendly aircraft to flak and other ground units, probably used until the Luftwaffe was forced onto the defensive.

I just hope the 109 model arrives for distribution this side of the pond as fast as the new F16 one did.

Actually now it's mentioned I remember the Hubertank was released while I was out of the country on holiday, and when I got back they had already gone price-mad on E-Bay so I passed on that one. Too many others to collect without blowing a small fortune on one small model. The duplicate early Dragon...
