Small Scale Military Headquarters

Nice review. Mine arrived last night, but I'm sadly about to run off on vacation and my friends kids would certainly enjoy playing with the plane if I got it out. I guess this will have to be the grail to bring me home.

The top display on the box is nice, and it looks just AWESOME.

Does anyone already have an SU-27 and can give a critique as to it's quality? I have an F-18 and it still sits in the attic as I wasn't very pleased with the quality. My intention is to build it into something else but just haven't gotten to it. I bought the A-10, F-18, and J-10. The A-10 and J-10 ...

Sometimes major retail chain will request their own "branded" item to differentiate the product from another retailers. Wal-mart had product marked as both "Motorworks" and "New Millenium Toys". I don't know whether Wal-mart requested the private labeling, or if 21st Century did it, but it seems ra...

I was able to get the tail section apart this weekend... It took some strong pulling and prying with a screw driver to get it off. Luckily I did not damage the model. Then I realized why disassembly was so difficult: aparently, when I had assembled the plane in 2005, I had put a dab of superglue on...

On my USAF one it just slides right out but on my german one its a little difficult but with a little force it slides right out.... I wonder if when putting them together if it would help to put some soap or silicon gel on the two latches? Tman ... you've had them out all this time? Wow? I was clos...

I have plenty of gear. I like them.

A quick question - What is the best way to remove the tail section of the 21c F-104? I'm wanting to disassemble one of my planes, but this part of the operation seems a bit difficult and I'm not wanting to cause significant damage... Thanks for the help :D I thought the same as well, but if you slo...

I've said this before and I'll repeat it again here, these companies should be including the history of these planes and their pilots in the boxes. Nothing fancy, just a sheet of paper, or even a half sheet to save $$, and give a brief description of the pilot, paint scheme and significance of the ...

About 3 years ago as well.

Oh.. and Flying Tigers P-40s as well.

Ditto that on TRU and both the halftrack and P-40. It was Aug., and 3 years sounds about right.

Awesome! Too many damn bugs outside for me to do anything like this. :lol: Perhaps your soldiers will protect you ... or even better, you can take photos of them battling the larger bugs. :) The photos in this thread are awesome. And yes, I tend to take the figs out and play when I have a nice (les...

MCALAMARI: Thanks. I live a long way from Target. I hate to go over there to find out they've increased the price to $10 or something. I bought a few Delta Force figures maybe two years ago for $5 each. Ebay has some reasonable prices, where you'd probably spend more in gas and time to get to a Tar...

Dang, wish I saw this earlier today. I want some of the airplanes and would have swung by a BL on my way home.

Can do tomorrow!

Again, what is Target's price? The previous wave of Bravo Team varies slightly from store / region ... in the Sacramento Area they range from $4.99 to $5.49. Small range, good deal. I've not seen the new wave / style here, but I think stores are waiting til tomorrow for a reset. Yesterday Halloween...

Keep photoing your collection! I love seeing people displaying their birds or other vehicles

(Actually all of the photos are great.)

Just thinned my box collection last week as I was finally reaaranging my attic...I did get rid of my 21C & BBI boxes, as I figure I would probably never go to the trouble of "re-wiring" the planes back into the boxes. I did, however, keep my Franklin Mint Armour and Corgi boxes, as those are a no-b...

I keep most (not all) of my boxes. Anything that comes with the plastic or Styrofoam molding I kept. Originally my first plane (P-47) and my brothers (now mine -- the British Corsair) we debated tossing the boxes due to size ... so glad I did not. If you are going to toss your boxes, ebay them empty...

i am planning on using my towers as guard towers for a german POW camp. Not quite the right style but they look pretty good. I test fit an mg34 and it looked great. If you have the one with the searchlight that's the icing on the cake. And they now make a searchlight with one of the 2 new bunker se...

Yes, already knew about that one, it's been on there for a couple of weeks, but after my experience with the first shop, once I found the second shop had one and they were prepared to sell it, the extra tenner was worth it just to have the model in my collection. The way things had been going, if I...

I'd agree.

Got some interesting news from the german distributor of the Boelcke starfighter: he said that 1000 pieces were produced and ordered by him but somehow 600 of them "disappeared". So they are already sold out of the 400 they received. Now they try to figure out were the rest is. And he also told me ...

If they want to do an F-16 with a female pilot, I think it should be this one: http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/f-16-pilot-was-ready-to-give-her-life-on-sept-11/2011/09/06/gIQAMpcODK_print.html If you don't get choked up reading that, you need to check your pulse ... But the T-bird it is ... Tim...

Of course that's BS on the A-10 and F-4. There's no way an A-10 or an F-4 couldn't be produced for a retail price that is at or below the $300 retail price of a 1/18 scale F-14. The A-10 especially since it is way simpler to recreate in design features compared to an F-14...... :roll: I agree. An A...

Wow, what a great and easy to implement idea!

I am try this with one of my Flight 19 Avengers.
