Small Scale Military Headquarters

I may try that drilling one... but i don't really want to drill my heli hub. i like to play with these models especially helicopters simply because i don't need a runway, ima big kid :) anyway i may try to use Thread Seal Tape and tape around the prop's insert to thicken the insert wedge... maybe i ...

I dont get it, how come in all my other helicopters, the blades snap into place but on the Blackhawk it just slides in and thats it theres no lock in, so thanks to physics, if it spins the centripetal force would make the blade slide out... or in fast RPM moments.. FLY out :). So for those out there...

That's very cool grange... did you light up all your helicopters or just the littlebird? And in the first one when it looks like its flying into the sunset, did you rc tnat helicopter??

Very cool video and that kinda conflicts my idea with this doorless chopper... id imagine in places like baghdad they would want doors to keep the flying sand out when they are hovering a few feet off the ground when they are in those tight spaces, I vould picture it being a huge dustraction while d...

Ok now im starting to get it, big helicopter is a larger target thus easier to take down so it need the protective doors and other protections around critical components, while the smaller helicopter use size, speed, and camo to keep it safe, so doors aren't 100% necessary.... ahhh makes so much sen...

ahhhhhhh thats very cool to know, so they essentially sacrifice safety for speed (which intern can be safety) That's very cool thanks for the info Paul :D So now i gotta ask, why dont they do this to the other helicopters they have, i would assume the Blackhawk would do this since their doors are hu...

I like the littlebird infact it was my favorite helicopter (liked it far better than my CIA huey) until it felt the wrath of a 2 year old toddler, needless to say I bought another one for 40 dollars on ebay (shipping and handling included) anyway I noticed this one doesn't have any doors and that's ...

Actually the WD-40 worked out very well, it seems llike the blade is spinning forever and the squeak has been eliminated. Also it did do a bit of discoloring but very slightly where it starts to look like weathering so im actually that i managed to kill 3 birds with one can of oil.... :D very happy ...

Yeah thats the problem i did take the plastic bolt off and i see a metal rod that comes out of the propeller... but the propeller wont pull out its stuck there... is the Propeller Mechanism attached to anything else? it spins fine i guess some of the glue didn't stick any more... but now its making ...

I would also like to know what's Inside this helicopter... There is some sort of rattle in the body of the helicopter, i looked on other forums for answers and apparently this is normal on the Kiowa but i don't seem to have an answer on what's inside. perhaps someone that converted their helicopter ...

So... im an idiot... lets get that out of the way first. I got my Kiowa Today and i love the thing to death (i love Bell Helis) Anyway as soon as i assembled it i carelessly hit the Camera/Radar thing against the shelf/roof and it popped off, and my futle atempt to put it back on was seemingly hopel...

I was thinking blackhawk as well mainly cause I don't have any choppers yet... and i ordered a kiowa which looks awesome but I also want a big chopper to compliment the other one... and I love black hawks sikorsky is awesome at building big gentle birds... blackhawk doesnt look aggressive (aside fro...

Off topic, didnt think it was worth a new post (as i post enough already) anyway i still love the Blackhawk Helicopter even if it was left in its original Paint anyway ive been having extreme Trouble deciding between the F-16 or the Blackhawk (my budget currently barely allows for 1)... So im not mu...

I am still on my buying/altering streak, and my next conquest is going to be the F-16/MH-60 Blackhawk... I plan on getting the Blackhawk 1) because its about 50 dollars cheaper and 2) cause i have yet to put a whirly bird in my collection. But i hate the spec ops look of it, i am a huge advocate and...

Hey yeah i was a bit concerned about that... I wonder if there was an Acrylic stand for the F-104, You know those special acrylic stands for the F 14, F 16, F 18... of if none exists if anyone can recommend a decent stand to make it look flying.

1/18 Motorworks P 47 Thunderbird The Blonde Angel

Yeah that does seem to make sense... either way im very happy with this jet i may not know how well it performs in te air but what i do know it does spice up the mancave from the World War 2 fighters...

Yeah that does seem to make sense... either way im very happy with this jet i may not know how well it performs in te air but what i do know it does spice up the mancave from the World War 2 fighters...

yeah im very happy with this... im also very intrigued by the landing gear its very simple but incredibly cleaver how 21st did what they did to 1) look the gear and 2) the way the used that strut that connects to the body Edit: I was going to to get the Smokey II but i like "busy looking planes", li...

Yeah I was actually on the market 4 years ago with my first plane being the old crow mustang and the daisy june corsair... after a few months I found the hellcat at toys r us... (and my brother did something most japanese couldn't do... destroy the hellcat fell off a shelf I was devestated) but afte...

I could not be anya more happy than i am mow... Lately i have only been collecting World War 2 Aircraft and decided to get my first Jet. The F 104 looks fantastic its long and sleek and just looks like a human powered Missile (maybe that was the point o.O) Anyway i think i got this at a good price 9...

ahhh right i sorta figured it out... cause when i heard it i immedientlyl went on a searching frenzy and found out you meant the 1/32 version ... it would be cool to see a 1:18 Wildcat though...

They made a BBI Wildcat?!?!?! even though it was the inferior fighter of WWII Compared to the Zero i still love the idea of "Orgins"... E.g without the Wildcat there would have been no Hellcat which is my favourite World War 2 Aircraft of the pacific. Anyway i also like the creases and the lines of ...

Time to find some real estate... i did not know that the SBD didnt have a wing folding feature... although it is starting to make sense for structural stability it would make sense to make the wing rigid and not fold then to fold so it can handle all the G's from pulling out of the dive... anyway lo...

First off im going to apologize in advance... i couldnt read all 13 pages of this thread as i dont really have the time, so if my question has been answered please just direct me to which page its on. Anyway the question is, do the Wings fold. I have very little real estate in my room and the only w...
