Small Scale Military Headquarters

Crap....I wonder what my original FOV King Tiger would go for??....amazing price considering these are not the greatest of economic of times,

I held off buying a 1/32 Dauntless from BBI as I was waiting on Admirals 1/18 and I have been kicking myself on that one ever since but it looks like next year I can give my foot and butt a break.

Just checking to see if there is anyone in the east TN, western VA area that maybe interested in my 1:18 scale warbirds that got into the game late and is looking to get a collection started or add to theirs. I don't get on or post very often but as some guys can tell you, I have been around since t...

Very nice, I have several kits I have been holding off doing but I am ready to get back to it. I have a F9F Panther just begging to be finished and then I am going to tackle my big daddy a 1:350 Tamiya Yamato battleship kit.

I have to go record as saying that I always got good customer service from BadCat and scored a few deals over the years although it has been a couple of years since I have bought any items from that group. As others have already mentioned, I am thankful for what BadCat did for the 1:18 scale hobby e...

I'm hopeful but I can't help being a bit skeptical as well.

HM is definitely tempting me. They really have their A game going.

The warthog is very cool. Has anyone gotten the RC Halo Hornet? Just wondering how hard it is to fly as I am thinking of getting that for my son for Xmas, he thinks Halo and Master Chief totally rule.

I'm glad this story sparked some thought. It really is a great use for these aircraft. The video game kids of today are visually stimulated so these birds defininately catch their visual attention and get them to thinking and asking questions which is a great thing. It brings more meaning for them t...

I have about 21 birds and I have always considered selling them off. The thing that holds me back are the kids. I went to my sons fifth grade class and took a few with me......next thing I know they ask me to come back and speak to the entire fifth grade. I lined up about 12 of these birds at the ed...

Very Nice, I'm just curious if anyone has tried any of the Tamiya RC tank models and if they were satisfied with the results.

Too funny!! I have been craving a T-34, but like you I prefer the 1:32. Would also like it in 1:18 but I'm not holding my breath.

Wow, I am tempted to sell mine but I think I will resist for now....seems just a short time ago you could pick one up for $50-60 but I know a lot has changed..

I have to say this comes as no real shock to me. With 21C's demise it was just a matter of time before supplies became scarce for some aircraft types/paint schemes. You will always have the crazies that come onto ebay and bid some pretty high prices for what is perceived to be a rare plane. Not that...

I will be the first to admit that I have been one the first people to jump on 21C for leaking info on upcoming products that either did not come to production or possibly to discourage other manufacturers from making their versions. Anyway, maybe 21C has just adopted a policy of strict silence on ne...

Finally, they came to their senses and did something smart for a change.

Jason, I also want to express my encouragement and thanks for all that AT has done and is doing. Besides collecting and enjoying these warbirds, I have found another very important mission for them. They have been employed as teaching tools at my kid's school. Last year when my son's 5th grade class...

I don't think you can go wrong Erich's "black tulip" scheme which has yet to be done in 1:18. How can we not have the "Ace of Aces" with an amazing 352 kills? My only suprise is that his tulip scheme has not been done yet.

As of what I heard, your dreams are denied. Here's what I currently know: Admiral toys is out of the military toy business as of several days ago.BBi has no new toolings planned for 2009, but may do repaints. 21st is sticking to repaints, and are still working on a 1/18 F-4. As usual I was told thi...

I have been told to keep a tight lip on the project. But I will tell you guys this. $525 is a lot of money. But as I have said before these cost money to make and the TIME to build them. Casting is the easy part. Have any of yoy guys ever built a model? It takes time . You have to paint it and then ...

You know I really like 21C and appreciate what they have done for our hobby but I too could not help but wonder what might have been if 21C had kept their mouths shut on their Phantom project. I think Admiral was ready to pull the trigger and start production up to that point. I think Admiral being ...

I agree that Skyworks is doing some amazing things but mercy....I would have to take out a second and third mortgage(good luck on getting those these days) to afford them. Still, I was wish them well.

Guys I have to admit that when I first saw that headline on the badcat newsletter the first thought thru my tiny mind was "BBI is insane" releasing a 109 with all of 21c variants and paintjobs but when I went to the badcat website and saw the photos of the engine I quickly said "I stand corrected" T...

Geeeeez Louise.......that just totally and utterly ROCKS!!!! Wished I had just a fraction of that guys talent.

$42.75 for a 1/32 Dauntless seems a little steep to me----I saw 21st Century 1/32 planes at Wal-Mart for $14.99. Totally agree....saw Badcat had it up for pre-order for $39.99....ouch!! That is way steep for a WW2 bird in 1:32 scale. Nobody can argue about the it's a jet or larger size issue on thi...
