Small Scale Military Headquarters

The awesome part of mine is I carefully worked around all the RC parts, and now I have a RC Wirblewind, tank drives around, forward and back, but also the turret rotates! Its badass! Im ganna have trouble letting go of this one... I wish I could rig up some way to elevate the guns on remote but mayb...

Im working on one right now from pickle, it seems to be going well but Im worried about the crew, It shows on the guild he sent that in order to put in the crew the turret has to be built around them but I got the turret all in one piece, did you get yours in one piece?/did you even try putting in a...

Are you looking for kits or finished models?

yea I found the info and pic here..

http://www.aviationtrivia.info/Messersc ... Gigant.php

Lots of other cool pics and other 323 builds

Its one of my all time favorite birds, out of reach though in 1/18, but the FW-200, JU-88, He-111, B-17 & B-24 are not and should be made.

yea those little 7.9mm mg's cant reach out and touch someone like a .50 cal can.

This is the grandfather to our C5A and C130, its the first I know of with the opening nose like that. Built for operation "Sealion" the invasion of England as a troop transport glider, was never used and so the existing airframes had motors slapped on.

The swazi is backwards.

Maybe he got in a hurry to get it airborne

He should show a 1/16 Tiger coming out of the nose....

Love the Mig!!

Ok Pickel, after the Horton.... http://i53.tinypic.com/29ghkyb.jpg This is not photo-shop guys, This SOB built this.. :shock: Its actually closer to 1/14 with a 157" wingspan.... I thought a 1/18 one was way to insane at 122" wingspan... My only question is after he flies it how does he get it home?...

That's awesome Jay, we need one more to get this thing off the runway!!!

Has anyone even asked her to post a picture of it next to a ruler??
this may be a $630 1/35 or 1/32 King tiger... She has no proof that it is 1/18, no box no comparisons with figures nothing, I live about 2 hours from her stated location, I may take a vacation and go Tiger hunting....

Damn it!

Ok then Ill make a Finnish version...

This looks really great!! you did a great job! What did you use on the treads? Did you have any trouble fitting crew members in?

Any updates Pickel?? how many more do we need??

winning bidder = doh!

No joke, maybe that is why shes selling it....

Maybe the first listing was just to throw us all off.....

Im ganna throw $2k at it the last few seconds... If I win it me and my sons will take it up to the mountains and get some great pictures, before and after we use it to sight in my new 8mm Mauser. After that I may put it on ebay after alittle airbrushing...... you know, you gotta detail that battle d...

yes, talking to the Horton bros would be insane,

Im doing the swastikas, Ill probably try to use the JU-87 tail decals then airbrush the exhaust over them.

Thanks, allota time went into that turrets detail, damn snow....
I love the ppsh sub machine gun, so did the Germans.

Supposedly they were painted on after capture, no one knows for sure, I find it hard to believe that some GI found a swastika stencil and went to town. I emailed the Horton brothers and Ill let you know when I get an answer.

I went through all that, the boxes and the storage, in the end I said I would rather have one really nice one of each thing then have all of them and not be totally satisfied with any of them. Thats when I started the customs. I also made it a rule I had to display the finished thing. When I start a...

and another paint scheme to consider..... http://www.luft46.com/ggart/ggho9-2.jpg

That's exactly how I'm gonna do mine!!!

Things like this take a major investment of time and materials, I think Pickle is just trying to help cover those initial costs, which is totally reasonable. If he said he only needs 5, he would only get 5 and everyone else would wait for it to be done, leaving a huge cost for start up cost. We all ...

All you guys who love 1/18 customs better get over to the 1/18 Scale Forum Board and send your $50 deposit to Pickle for the 1/18 Horton or heads are gonna role

Im in, its sent. 3 more.....

I would use a 262 NJ pilot w/oxygen mask
