Small Scale Military Headquarters

Congrat on your BIG score
Yes it's huge.
Below is mine with pilots

Excellent diorama. I like it

very very nice diorama. I rarely see any 1/18 diorama here any more.

just hung up few more 1/32 models to make more room in my man cave

That Heinkel is a masterpiece. The nose area of that kit was more than I wanted to tangle. Seems you handled it with ease!

Thank you.
I'd love to build another one in Russian winter scheme if I can find another kit for decent price.

yep most of my 1/18 planes are hanging in my man cave

Looks great!!! I'd love to build a He111 but I just don't have the room to display it once it's done. Thanks. Perhaps you could hang it up like I did with mine. I plan to hang the other one up as well to save room. I thing they look quite nice in hanging mode :) https://i.imgur.com/0HGnmaT.jpg

Thank you friends.
I built one in desert markings couple years ago. Below is the two together
Most markings of the desert scheme were also airbrushed using Montex mask

Thanks C44.

Almost all markings were airbrushed including the swaszi. I used Montex masking for the canopy frames. I also added two pilots and photo-etched machine guns in this build.

I have BBI F18, F16, F4, Zero and none have turned yellow so far. Of course I have them all hanging up in my basement with no sun light. I have no clue how to restore original color without repainting. My two merit F14s are display upstairs with a bit of morning sun but so far no yellowing at all. K...

I have K&C figures and FoV tanks in my collection, and most of them are ~1/28 scale and too large for 1/32 vehicles & tanks.

This 2 seat me262b is getting harder to find now. I am lucky to have one in my collection. Good luck with the sale.

I too passed on the Black F18 Hornet because I just spent the money on the BK F14 a week before :) I am glad I have both versions at retail price. I also repainted the spots on the JR version, and added custom stands & pilots for both of them. Still have all original boxes just in case I need to unl...

Ah ok. Thanks for the info Folkwulfe

wow...
sold for $2300 with 39 bids. Looks like there are still many collectors really want to get it.

I am glad I have both Tomcat versions at retail price. I have most of the 1/18 models that I want so it really does not matter to me if/when someone will make them again in future because I have no more room for the large scale planes.

New BK in ebay currently at $1900 with 25 bids (not mine)

That is an excellent build . I like it.
I could not handle the big scale (1/18) build due to my work space. My largest build is the 1/32 He-111.
What is the purpose of the dark "rectangular square" beside decal number "6" ?

It will be huge in 1/18. I wish I could afford it. 700 Euros is ~ $1000 CAN for a kit

That's another great build!! I remember way back when you first started modeling.. I believe your skills are now complete young padewan.

Thanks.
My 1st model was the 1/72 Sukhoi Su 27 (forget maker) which I built ~ 1990 with super glue and small paint brush

Nice work as always, cnq, you give the Tamiya master builders a run for their money! Looking forward to seeing the completed Persian F14...not a typical choice, are you gonna do the desert camo? I'm sure it will come out looking good... Thanks. The Academy kit cost me $30 quid. I paid double for Ho...

It's an awesome 1/32 pre-built Tamiya F14. I could not even afford the kit itself let alone $1000 model :shock: That's why I opted to build my own F14 but in smaller 1/48 My cheapo Academy BK F14 which I built last year https://i.imgur.com/OoeSBnO.jpg And just got the Hobby Boss kit also in 1/48 to ...

These are awesome museum models. Are they made in high quality plastic/resin ?
